Get to know our core collection of GOTS certified organic linen.

We love linen. It comes from the flax plant - the same one that produces those tiny brown seeds you put on your granola. 

It’s grown here in Europe, meaning transport distances (and therefore co2 emissions) are minimal AND all it needs to grow is rainwater. Those factors make it far more sustainable to produce than other fabrics like cotton. In fact, the CELC says buying a linen shirt instead of a cotton can save thirteen 1.5 litre bottles of water!

Flax is also grown in rotation with other crops, so it enriches the soil with nutrients and helps to protect ecosystem biodiversity. And then, at the end of its life, it can even be put back into the earth - studies show linen will completely degrade after 6.5 months.



But that doesn’t detract from its longevity. Linen is one of the oldest textiles in the world and is proven to be both durable and breathable. Plus, it’s wearable across the seasons with natural temperature regulating properties that keep you cool when it's warm and warm when it's cool.

 

Choosing the right fabric supplier can be a daunting task - there are endless options and we wanted to make sure we partnered with people we align with. 

But after months of research and sourcing, we found Libeco and they ticked all the right boxes.

What is GOTS?

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textiles Standard - it’s the leading standard for organic fibres. It ensures that the fabrics are organic as well as environmentally and socially responsible. 

Our linen is grown by organic farmers and is spun, woven and finished without the addition of any harmful chemicals or pesticides. This creates a healthier environment for the farmers, the planet and for your skin!
