where we got this from: the tote bags are sewn by lina in lithuania with lots of dedication and attention to detail, and prewashed and ironed by her mother. the fabric is woven of german and french linen and washable at 30 or 40 degress celsius - ideally with no fabric softener. you can iron it or just have fun with the natural linen wrinkling. please do not throw this into the dryer. linen dries incredibly fast anyway.

why linen: by now you might have already noticed that we are in love with linen! and there are many good reasons for this: it is being produced locally in europe, is unusually long-living and persistent, forms no nodules and barely wears out. on the contrary, linen is known to increase in quality over time and with wear. it cools in summer as moisture evaporates incredibly fast, und warms when it's colder just the same. dirt does not really stick well to it. its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties keep it fresh longer till the next washing and also make it especially suitable for people with allergies and sensible skin. in any case it feels natural - freshly washed and still a bit rigid just the same as when already cuddly-smooth after wear. you can feel the skin breathe and it feels like a good friend that will go with you a long way.

especially suitable for: people that carry stuff
