How to Care — Linen
Our linen is woven from long-staple flax fibres — naturally strong, breathable, and remarkably easy to live in. Machine wash on a cool gentle cycle, iron while damp, and your linen will only grow more beautifully relaxed with every wear and wash.
Step by Step
Always refer to the individual garment label before washing. Most of our linen pieces are safe to machine wash, but some styles with special finishes, embroidery, or trims may require hand washing or dry cleaning.
Wash at 30°C on a gentle or delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Turn garments inside out to protect the surface and minimise friction. Avoid washing linen with heavy items like denim that could cause unnecessary abrasion.
Take linen out of the machine as soon as the cycle ends. Leaving it sitting damp encourages deep creasing that can be difficult to remove. Give the garment a firm shake to open the fibres and release any fold lines before drying.
Hang linen on a hanger or a line to air dry — this is the preferred method and helps the fabric retain its natural structure. If using a tumble dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp to avoid over-drying and stiffness.
Linen irons beautifully while still slightly damp. Use a medium-to-high heat setting with steam and press on the reverse side for a smooth finish. For a relaxed look, simply smooth with your hands and hang — linen's natural texture is part of its character.

A Note on Longevity
Linen is one of the few fabrics that genuinely improves with age. Each wash softens the fibres a little more, deepening the texture and relaxed character that makes linen so enduring — wear it often, wash it well, and it will only get better.
