Lithuanian Linen Placemat, Grey and White Stripe

Lithuanian Linen Placemat, Grey and White Stripe
£12.00
Ex Tax: £10.00

A classic linen placemat featuring a grey and white stripe pattern. Woven from 100% linen in Lithuania for Fog Linen Works of Japan. Linen is a highly durable fabric which will only improve with age, becoming softer and more absorbent over time. Great for creating a relaxed and calming table setting. Designed by Yumiko Sekine, founder of Fog Linen Works. Sekine started her first business in 1993 importing goods from around the world to Japan — finding a shortage of affordable, high-quality linen, she travelled to Lithuania in 1999, where a long tradition of flax cultivation and linen production inspired a partnership with a local manufacturer. What began as a collection of seven textile products has since grown into an extensive range of linen towels and cloths, as well as a range of household products created in collaboration with skilled artisans from India.

Measures 35cm by 45cm. Machine wash under 30ºc and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinkage or damage to the natural fibres. Made in Lithuania.

Care Advice

Wash separately at 40 — 60°C, in plenty of water. Avoid softener and bleach, especially on towels as this can affect their absorbency. Do not tumble dry and reshape while damp. Linen bought “Unwashed” will shrink by approximately 7% after washing, its surface wrinkling and softening. Iron while the fabric is still damp, remembering that linen dries quickly.
