What is cotton linen?
Linen is a durable and natural fabric. This beautiful 'creased fabric' gives a casual and natural look to your bedroom and is wonderfully strong. Linen can sometimes feel a bit rough, which is why we combine linen with soft cotton for our duvet covers. A natural look, durable and soft. What more could you want?
Linen, A Sustainable Choice
Linen is 3x as strong as cotton, so a linen or cotton-linen duvet cover lasts much longer than cotton bedding. Linen is also an environmentally friendly material. It is made from the flax plant, which is a lot less invasive for the environment than growing and processing cotton. This natural substance can regulate heat very well, making it feel cool in summer and allowing it to retain heat in winter.

How to Look After Cotton Linen?
You can wash cotton linen bedding at 60°C and dry at a low temperature. After each wash, the duvet cover will feel softer. The wonderful side effect of linen bedding is that you don't have to iron it. Of course, you can if you want (at a maximum of 150°C), but this is where the beautiful, natural look of linen comes into its own.
