What does upcycled linen mean?

Upcycled linen is good linen fabric, such as end-of-roll pieces and offcuts, that's repurposed instead of thrown away. Many of our bags and scarves are made from it.

Using these pieces means less textile goes to landfill and each item is a little different, so colors and patterns can vary slightly from the photos. The quality is the same linen we use for our clothing, so upcycled pieces are just as durable.

How do I clean a linen bag?

Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. For a full clean, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, then gently reshape the bag and let it air dry. Avoid the dryer and chlorine bleach.

If your bag has a structured base or leather details, spot cleaning is best. Linen softens over time, and small creases are part of its natural look.

Can each piece in a gift set be personalized?

Yes. Each gift set has 10 pieces, and we can embroider a different name, initials or title on each one, or add your logo. That makes them popular for bridesmaids and groomsmen, family gatherings and corporate gifts.

Send us the names, text or logo when you order, and tell us if you'd like a particular thread color. Because every set is made to order, we stitch the personalization before it ships.

Does linen get softer over time?

Yes. New linen can feel slightly crisp, but flax fibers relax with every wash and wear, so it gets noticeably softer and drapes better the longer you use it.

You don't need fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce linen's natural moisture-wicking. Washing cold, or no warmer than 40°C (104°F), and line drying or tumble drying on low is enough. Linen is one of the strongest natural fibers, so softening comes from the fibers relaxing, not from wearing out.
