Raw linen shrinks 3 to 5% in its first wash. We have already washed every piece once, twice or three times, so what is left is 1 to 2% in your first hot wash. Curtains are the exception on purpose: they are washed once and cut 3 cm long so you can hem them after your own first wash.

Because flax fibre has almost no elasticity. It is the nature of the material and the finest linens crease most. If a crease would irritate you every morning, honestly, linen is the wrong fibre — and since we sell nothing else, we would rather tell you that than sell you a duvet cover you will return.

Oat, yes, always — it is undyed, so there is no dye lot to drift. Chalk, very nearly. Slate and graphite are yarn-dyed and hold steady. Olive, rust and sky are piece-dyed and can sit half a shade off between batches. If matching matters, tell us your order number and we will check the lot.

The 130 gsm chalk is semi-sheer: you will see the outline of what is under a shirt in strong sun, and a sheer curtain panel does not give privacy at night with the lights on. The 165 gsm chalk is opaque.

One cut for everyone, sized on chest for shirts, on hip for trousers and on bust for dresses. The guide has every garment measured flat in each size. Measure something you already like and compare.

For shirts and the pinafore, go up — the cut is meant to be loose. For the trousers and the wrap dress, go down; the elastic and the tie give you the room.

Yes. Order the size for the shirt and email us the trouser size with your order reference. We swap it before dispatch at no charge.

Rust fades by about a tone over the first year and olive a little less; both are piece-dyed. Slate and graphite are yarn-dyed and fade evenly and slowly. Oat and chalk do not change.

No, and we would rather you heard that here. At 240 gsm it takes a bright room down to dim and it insulates well, but linen is a woven cloth and light comes through the weave. For a dark bedroom, have a blackout lining added behind it — any curtain maker can do it for a modest cost.

Each panel is 140 cm wide. For a gathered look allow 1.5 to 2 times your rod width; for a flat, tailored look, 1.2 times. A 200 cm rod wants two panels gathered, or three for a full look.

Measure from the top of the rod to where you want the hem, and order that drop. Every panel is cut 3 cm longer so it lands on the number after its first wash. If your measurement is between two drops, order the longer one and hem.

Both are on every panel. The rod pocket gives a gathered top; the back tabs give a flat, pleated fall and let you hang the panel on rings or hooks.

If a seam, hem, button, tie or drawstring fails inside the first 60 washes, we repair it or replace the piece and pay the postage both ways. It covers how the piece was made, not scorches, tears or stains. Details on the care page.

Everything leaves Vilnius within one working day. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 1 to 2 working days; Poland, Germany and the Netherlands in 2 to 4; the rest of the EU in 3 to 6. The UK, Switzerland and Norway take 5 to 8 and the carrier collects import duty and local VAT on delivery.

Anything unwashed and unworn within 30 days, for any reason, for a full refund. Return postage is yours unless the piece was faulty or we sent the wrong thing. Washed items cannot come back as a change of mind — they can only come back under the promise.

No. We sell only through this site, which is how we keep the prices where they are.
