We started with a field of flax.

Linnea began in 2016 with one shirt, one mill and a farmer who let us walk her fields in June. We still work that way: few fibres, close partners, small runs.

Grown, not made

Linen, hemp, ramie, wool and alpaca: fibres that grow back, need little water and return to the soil.

Close to the field

We weave within 600 km of where the fibre grows, so it travels less and stays traceable.

Made to be mended

Every piece is cut with seam allowance to spare. We repair Linnea for life, for the cost of postage.

Natural fibres, nothing else

What we weave with

**Flax linen**Cool, strong, softens for a decade.

**Hemp**Shades out weeds, feeds the soil.

**Ramie**A nettle cousin with a silk-like lustre.

From field to fold

Four seasons in the making

Field

Flax is sown in March along the northern coast. It needs no irrigation and blooms blue for a single morning in June.

Retting

Pulled, never cut, the stems lie in the field for weeks while dew and sun loosen the fibre. No tanks, no chemicals.

Spinning & weaving

Long fibres are spun into yarn and woven in small mills we visit every year, a few hours from the field.

Fold

Cut in our studio in small runs, or made to order. Folded in paper, tied with an offcut, sent to you.

What it saves

Measured, piece by piece

Every product carries an impact badge: the water and CO2 it saves against a conventional garment of the same weight. Here is the season so far.

1,240,000: litres of water saved
2,310: kg of CO2 avoided
684: pieces made to order
312: garments mended free

The studio

Six of us cut, sew and pack everything in a former sail loft by the harbour. Made-to-order pieces are finished by one maker from start to end, and you will find their initials inside.
