What We Love:
Linen is one of the most sustainable fibers, requiring little water and no pesticides.
The entire Flax plant is used to produce Linen meaning there is no waste.
Linen lowers the carbon footprint of the fabric, because the Flax plant sucks up more C02 than many other plants.
Linen is naturally organic (not certified)
Fully biodegradable and compostable.
What We Don't Love:
Blends increase landfill time compared to pure linen.
Increased carbon footprint for sourcing flax in Europe and shipping to Portugal.
Not farmed regeneratively.
