James linen cushion from Libeco

Description

“James Linen Cushion by Libeco”

The James Linen Cushion by Libeco – effortlessly cool with a stonewash look. The designer says: “Simplicity – that could be the motto of the new winter collection. It brings us pure materials, an industrial style and a restrained colour palette. It takes its name from Frans Tack, a passionate flax farmer, on whose premises we were allowed to photograph this collection. Frans Tack has worked with flax all his life. His farm is very close to our weaving mill, in the heart of the Flemish flax region. We were able to photograph this collection there, among the remaining flax retting pools and warehouses.”

“A dense and robust woven fabric forms the basis for these accessories. James has a genuine stonewashed linen look. Simplicity is key, both in the flax colour and in the execution with a black-striped trim. The shoulder bag features a herringbone pattern in black and flax on the inside and a trim in the same colours. On both sides it has an additional zip pocket. The black-striped trim can be found on all sides of the decorative and floor cushions. On the cosmetic and mini bag, the trim appears on one outer and one inner side. The herringbone pattern in black and flax also appears on the inside of the cosmetic bag. The apron has the same trim for tying at the neck and waist.”

European Organic Linen

Linen bed linen lets your skin breathe better. When it comes to our skin, linen is the perfect fabric. Thanks to its long, smooth fibres, linen absorbs a great deal of moisture and repels dirt. Linen is an intelligent fabric because it regulates temperature. Linen provides pleasant coolness in summer and cosy warmth in winter. The long linen fibres ensure that linen bed linen stays fresh much longer. The linen fabric has been treated purely mechanically, making it very supple and kind to the skin. Linen treated in this way creases less while preserving its natural quality and all the advantages of linen. Libeco is committed to organic linen and uncompromising sustainability in every step of production, and the creation of GOTS-certified linen bed linen in the Heritage collection was a logical next step.

The Weaving Mill

Libeco received the accolade of the Belgian Royal House in 2006: “Belgian Royal Warrant Holder” is the impressive recognition of the quality of these textiles. The “Belgian Linen” quality seal guarantees a quality product made according to the highest standards of sustainable business. All fabrics by Libeco carry the coveted “Masters of Linen” label. This guarantees that the fabrics have been tested to the extremely high requirements of this master class and that they are produced exclusively in Europe. “Eco Line” and “Oeko-Tex” provide the assurance that Libeco fabrics are free from harmful substances and have not been treated with chemicals, bleached or dyed.

Care

Coloured linen can be washed at up to 60°C, white linen at up to 95°C. As with all materials, the same applies to linen: washing at lower temperatures extends its life. Linen does not tolerate detergents with optical brighteners, as they strongly bleach the natural colours and the fabric becomes pale. Creasing: linen needs sufficient residual moisture to prevent excessive creasing. Do not overload the machine so the fabric can move freely, and do not spin linen too hard or too long. If you wish to iron linen, iron the pieces on the hot linen setting of your iron while they are still slightly damp. Even if it is convenient, avoid tumble-drying linen. Over-drying can cause shrinkage.
