We’ve refined every detail to ensure your bedding feels great and performs well night after night. Here’s a full breakdown of the fabric, features, and finishing touches:
Free Shipping
We offer free ground shipping on all orders to the US and Canada. Visit our Shipping Policy page for full details and additional delivery options.
100-Day Returns
Linen softens beautifully with each wash, and we want you to have time to experience that transformation. That’s why we offer a 100-day return window on all orders (excluding renewed bedding and clearance items). Some exceptions apply—see our Refunds and Returns Policy for details.
Not all linen is created equal. While some bedding is made from flax grown in regions that rely on heavy irrigation or intensive agricultural inputs, our bedding is crafted from traceable European flax sourced from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands — the natural home of the world’s finest linen, often referred to as the Flax Belt.
Flax grown in this region is naturally rain-fed and well suited to the local climate, producing long, strong fibers that result in linen that’s softer, smoother, and more durable over time. It’s where quality meets thoughtful sourcing — naturally.

WHY OUR LINEN IS SO COMFORTABLE
SOFT
Our garment washed European linen naturally feels supple and soft. And the fabric becomes even softer with every wash!
THERMOREGULATING
Flax linen's hollow fiber allows it to breathe, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Our high quality flax linen is naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. This makes it a great choice for sensitive skin.
ABSORBENT
Flax linen absorbs 20% of its own weight without feeling damp, keeping your skin dry and you comfortable throughout the night.
PEACE OF MIND
Comfort is a state of mind as well. Our linens are Oeko-Tex 100® Class 1 certified - your guarantee that what you sleep in is free from harmful chemicals.
ZERO IRRIGATION
The only water our European flax needs is provided by rainfall saving 100 billion gallons of water annually over cotton farming - or what New York City uses in 470 years.
ZERO CHEMICALS
The transformation of flax into linen is an entirely mechanical process performed by highly skilled craftsmen using no chemicals.
ZERO POLLUTION
Flax is naturally resistant to pests and requires zero pesticide or defoliants and five times less fertilizer than cotton.
ZERO GMO
Certified European flax is guaranteed to be GMO-free, a commitment signed by all our growers as part of the European Flax Charter.
CO2 REDUCTION
Every year, the growing of flax in Europe captures 330,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.

"I’d been looking for the perfect duvet cover for a long, long time. I found it here.
The linen feels and looks like truth, like true organic earth. I am in love with this soft gift. Nothing is overdone except the attention to detail. Soft and beautiful. It is obvious that this bedding was created with great care.
I’ll be buying a second set soon for my cabin in the woods."
