THREE WAYS TO WEAR IT

On the head — tied at the nape, embroidery at the front.
At the neck — the motif falls at the throat. Reads like jewellery.
At the waist — knotted over a dress or high-waisted trousers. This is the way that gets noticed.

THE FABRIC
100% linen, woven in Flanders — on the same ground since 1858.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, class II — tested for harmful substances, safe against skin.
Belgian Linen™ — woven in Belgium, min. 85% EU-origin flax, traceable by certificate number.
Masters of Linen® — made entirely in Europe: field, fibre, yarn, cloth.
Purveyor to the Belgian Royal Court, appointed 2006.
CO2-neutral company, certified since 2014.
Zero-waste production.
And when it finally does end: linen is fully biodegradable. An independent study measured complete degradation in 6.5 months.
"Belgian flax" and "European flax" describe where the plant grew — not where the cloth was woven. Belgian Linen™ guarantees both. That's the difference you're paying for.

THE EMBROIDERY THREAD

Madeira Sensa Green — 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell, spun from wood cellulose in a closed-loop process that recovers 99% of its solvent, dyed in Freiburg.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, class I — the strictest category, the one for textiles safe for babies under three.
Silky matte, not the plastic shine of polyester. Soft where it sits against your throat. Most machine embroidery uses polyester because it's cheap. This doesn't.

HOW IT FEELS
125 g/m² — light. Softened by air, not stone.
The fabric is Sanfor pre-shrunk and Airo-finished: compressed to stabilise it before it ever reaches me, then softened mechanically with jets of air. No stones, no chemicals, no enzymes. The fibre is left intact — which is why the colour stays even and the cloth wears slowly.
What that means for you: it won't shrink after the first wash, and it arrives already soft rather than needing to be broken in.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CARE
A care label is sewn in — please follow it.
The fabric is pre-shrunk, so it holds its size. It only gets softer.
