How to Care for Linen So It Lasts for Years

Wash cool and gentle

Wash linen in cool to lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. This protects the flax fibre and helps the garment keep its shape and colour.

Dry with care

Air drying is ideal for linen. If you use a dryer, choose a low setting and remove the item while slightly damp. High heat is the main thing to avoid.

Iron only if you want to

Linen's relaxed wrinkles are part of its appeal. If you prefer a crisper look, iron while slightly damp. Otherwise, simply smooth and hang.

Store it dry

Keep linen dry and well-ventilated. Folding is fine, and a quick steam or shake releases storage creases before wear.
