Sustainability

  • OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I

    The strictest tier of this certification. Every component — thread, dye, buttons — is independently tested for harmful substances. It’s the same standard used for baby clothing, so you can trust what’s against your skin every night, not just what’s on the label.

  • Masters of Flax Fibre™

    An independent, audited paper trail that traces the flax from field to fabric within the European Union. “European flax” is a claim a lot of brands make loosely — this certification means it’s actually verified, not just marketing.

  • Packaging

    Even the box it arrives in is considered. Our shipping boxes are sourced from a recycled packaging facility here in Colorado. Inside, it’s paper, natural twine, and recycled tissue, nothing more.

    Everything we package the product with is recycled, recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. The linen isn’t the only part of this that’s meant to go back to the earth eventually.

  • SMETA

    An independent, on-site audit of the people behind your linen — fair wages, safe working conditions, ethical business practices. Not something we’re asking you to take on our word; a third party checked.

  • ISO 9001:2015

    An international standard for quality management. In practice: the mill’s processes are consistent and independently reviewed, so the sheets you buy today meet the same standard as the ones you reorder years from now.

Field to fabric, in Europe. Nothing else.

Our flax is grown in France and Belgium. Spun into yarn in Italy. Woven and sewn in Portugal, at a mill that’s been in the same family since 1921. No stage leaves Europe. Most linen brands can’t say that. We can.

The people who make it

Everyone who touches our linen works under EU labor standards — fair wages, safe conditions, regulated hours. Not a promise we asked for. Just the law, where our linen is made.

A lot of brands don’t mean much by sustainability, but we use the word carefully.

What happens to it eventually

It’s a plant. At the end of a long life, it can be composted — no synthetics, no microplastics, nothing left behind that shouldn’t be.

Why we bothered

Flax is a low-impact crop — less water than cotton, little to no pesticide, almost nothing wasted. We didn’t pick linen because it’s trendy to pick a natural fiber. We picked it because, done right, it’s one of the most honest materials there is.
