Grape 130 European Laundered Linen
European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness. A purple aubergine shade.
This is a handkerchief linen, which is our lightest weight linen at just over 3.5oz. It’s ideal for tops and blouses, or dresses that have a lot of gathering like our Honey or Florence dress.
It is produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric. Our 130 linen collection is woven in a mill run on green energy and is Oeko-Tex certified.

Eco-credentials:
The 130 range is a European linen produced in a mill run on green energy.
Flax is a strong plant best grown in northern Europe. It needs little or no fertilisers and due to the local climate, little extra water. It doesn’t really require many pesticides either as it can grow in poor quality soil. The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tonnes of CO2. Every part of the plant is used, what isn’t used to produce linen can be used to make linseed oil, paper, cattle feed or even soap.
Linen is therefore almost naturally organic. It is completely biodegradable, recyclable and due to its natural absorbency, it requires less dye than cotton. Linen therefore scores high on the ecological chart.
