The Story

Linen has been one of the most valued fabrics in the history of the Basque Country. Almost the whole wardrobe of the family, as well as the woman’s trousseau was made with linen. One of the most valuable parts of that trousseau was bed linen, which used to be decorated with blue borders. The quality and intricacy of those embroideries reflected the skills and the status of the bride.

Thanks to E. Elorza’s and M.A. Miangolarra’s work, some of those embroideries, which belong to the collection at the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastian, saw the light again and got their well-deserved recognition and value.

Fabric & care

• Composition: 100 % linen

Linen is the oldest vegetable fibre used by the human being to create fabrics and, for centuries, it was one of the foundations of the economy in the Basque Country. Many farms cultivated linen and all the garments and textile elements of the household were made with it.

Linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics, as it needs very little water and space. Its fibres have the virtue of absorbing the heat and the humidity, as well as of evaporating water very fast. That is why this fabric is so fresh.

Care: Steam iron your item of clothing to eliminate the wrinkles caused by use. Machine wash at 30 ºC with similar colours. The garment will shrink with the first wash.

Traceability and Sustainability

Prints in this collection have been designed by us and printed with eco-friendly inks in a company in Huelva (Andalusia), in natural fabrics such as linen and cotton.

Every garment is made according to the #zerowaste philosophy, which involves using all the fabric, therefore preventing waste.

This garment has been handcrafted with loads of love by tailors and seamstresses from Gipuzkoa (Basque Country).

We start sewing some of the models after the order has been made, so we prevent overproduction and wasting fabric. This is known as #SlowFashion.
