Linen softens and grows more beautiful with age, which is one of the reasons we love it so much. We recommend either hand washing or machine washing at 30°C separately. Leave to air dry naturally, then press with a warm iron if desired. Do not tumble dry.

The cloth

Our festive check.
Lit with gold and red.

Forest green and deep navy, crossed with fine lines of gold and red.

We had this check made for our Christmas collection, in the dark greens of midwinter. From across a room it reads as deep green; up close you find the navy that gives it depth, a fine gold line and a finer red one.

In linen it is light enough to layer and warm enough for a December evening, and it softens with every wash. The red ribbon at the neck is there to bring the red forward.

Colour: Forest green and navy
Lines: Gold and red
Cloth: Linen
Care: Wash at 30°C, never tumble dry

One pair of hands,
start to finish.

Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.

We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.

This piece is ready to ship, and leaves us within 1 to 2 working days.
