Things you need to know about linen clothes

Linen is known to be the world’s strongest natural fiber. It is so durable it’s even used in paper money to increase strength! It is thicker than cotton and lasts a very long time. Linen textiles appear to be some of the oldest in the world: their history goes back many thousands of years. It was sometimes used as a form of currency in ancient Egypt. Linen is a more expensive raw material than cotton, but that’s pretty much the only con we could find.

So whats so great about linen? Linen clothes are best to wear during the summer months and in warm climates. Linen fibers are hollow, moving air and moisture naturally and fabric feels cool to touch, a phenomenon which indicates its higher conductivity. Clothes made of linen are also lightweight, wick away moisture and dry quickly. These properties allow linen clothing to feel cool, airy and light on the body. It is valued for its ability to keep cool in the summer months and trap warmth in colder weather.

The fabric is natural yet elegant, and its distinct texture adds a touch of interest to an outfit.
The most common complaint about linen is that it wrinkles very easily. Dennis Green share a real story of a nightmare wearing linen shirt. Linen has poor elasticity and does not spring back readily, explaining why it wrinkles. It is smooth, making the finished fabric lint-free, and gets softer the more it is washed. And if you know how to soften linen fabric the nightmare can become a daydream. Thanks to the emergence of new technologies for processing linen fibers, manufacturers are able to significantly reduce the effect of crushing.

Linen should not be dried too much by tumble drying, and it is much easier to iron when damp. Nevertheless, the tendency to wrinkle is often considered part of linen's particular "charm", and many modern linen garments are designed to be air-dried on a good clothes hanger and worn without the necessity of ironing.
Handmade linen clothes is very high quality. You can read more in the CozyLinen blog how they value their clients and what is the purpose behind it.

A characteristic often associated with linen yarn is the presence of "slubs", or small knots which occur randomly along its length. In the past, slubs were traditionally considered to be defects, and were associated with low quality linen. However, in the case of many present-day linen fabrics, particularly in the decorative furnishing industry, slubs are considered as part of the aesthetic appeal of an expensive natural product. In addition, slubs do not compromise the integrity of the fabric, and therefore they are not viewed as a defect. However, the very finest linen has very consistent diameter threads, with no slubs at all.

Linen fabrics have a high natural luster; their natural color ranges between shades of ivory, ecru, tan, or grey. Pure white linen is created by heavy bleaching. Linen fabric typically varies somewhat in thickness and is crisp and textured, but it can in some cases feel stiff and rough, and in other cases feel soft and smooth. When properly prepared, linen fabric has the ability to absorb and lose water rapidly. Linen can absorb a fair amount of moisture without feeling unpleasantly damp to the skin, unlike cotton.

Linen outfits are universal - they can be combined with jeans, leather, silk, chiffon, synthetic fabrics. And if you do not mind the inherent flaws, boldly dress in elegant dresses or shirts, going for a walk, to the office or to a cafe. From high fashion to casual wear!

SondeflorShop - It's a story about a girl, a dress and the sound of flowers...

Here is SondeFlor story and SHOP

The team of Son de Flor consist of two friendly dreamers, both with creative vision and passion for all things romantically classic! Probably a little bit crazy and naive as well, though great believers in a culture of a cup of tea and a power of slowing down. Just listen to our dresses! Can you hear what they are singing?

Seems it's time to introduce ourselves. We are Elze and Vaida. A photographer and a fashion creative. Friends forever. Travel companions. Recently business partners.
Our fresh yet promising brand Son de flor was born from longing for something beautiful and obvious. Something that needs no promotion nor arguing its' value. Something more than fashion. Something fragile, feminine and strong at the same time. Something lasting. Relieving. Looking just right with high-heels as well as sandals or sporty sneakers! Many faces, yet all carrying one beautiful sound. The sound of flowers.

This is what we hear when we create, craft and visualize our classic collar dresses: relax, slow down, embrace yourself, blossom and celebrate your 'yourness'! 
All our dresses are produced in a small sewing house based in the heart of Vilnius, a family business established more than 20 years ago. We love working with someone we fully trust even on the slightest most complicated details. All our products are thoroughly hand-made and all the parties involved in the production processes are fairly rewarded. Our fabrics come from Lithuanian and Italian producers with fair trade and eco-friendly certificates.

Handmade accessories, sweaters, cowls by IvetaStasiulioniene

Welcome to IvetaStasiulioniene SHOP and here is her story...

I finished history and art history bachelor studies in one of the oldest universities in Europe, Vilnius University.
But after becoming a mother, I fully indulged to my family. Having free time I always sat down to knit, and little by little it became a full-time job.

I have loads of ideas, that I try to recreate, old knitting techniques and new fashion trends combining all into one. I want to try everything. From wedding and boho knittings - to warm and fluffy winter accessories.
 I am really demanding towards myself and my knitting. I choose only the highest quality yarn. I thoroughly inspect them to see if they are soft, if they will itchy and if they will stretch and bleed during washing. It`s really important to me.

 I try to improve a model as much as I can, until I feel delighted with the turn out and fall in love with it myself. Only then I show them to You.
Before shipping all of my knittings out, I wash them with an eco detergent. You get clean, fragrant knittings and You can easily wear them on the same day you get it!

I am delighted when the clients are happy with my products, a part of my heart belongs to them:)

So after any outdoor work and return to my knitting.

The shop was created by me and encouraged me to like doing, not only to their families but also for the wide ambushes my youngest daughter, the artist - a painter Rasa Vilčinskaitė, Etsy name RasaVilJewelry.

Adorable handmade baby goods by GeraBloga

 Story behind Gera Bloga

My name is Dovilė Mikelėnienė. I create stylish, natural clothing and accessories for little ones with my mother and our small team under the name Gera Bloga. I live and work in Lithuania, where I’m also a mother to beautiful twin girls and wife to a loving and supportive husband. 
My story begins with the birth of my twins – they were so small and fragile when they were born that they were cold even in the middle of summer. At one point, the NICU nurse suggested I have someone knit natural, coarse wool vests for them to wear on their bare skin, so my mom came to the rescue with two tiny handmade vests. They were such a lifesaver! After my mom knit those little vests, I had a thought: nature knows best when it comes to protecting and caring for your babies. If handmade clothing could be natural and comfortable, while also modern and beautiful, it would be perfect for my babies — and for other babies around the world. That led my mom and I to create our collection of natural handmade clothing.
 In recent years, fast living and fast consumption — buying things you don’t need and then throwing them away — has become less and less attractive to me. I want to create necessary things, and I want them to be valuable. I believe in nonsense-free baby clothes that are simple, pure, and made for a baby’s adventures: the kinds of things you can pass from one child to the next, from one family to another.
 And last but not least thing to add: Would you like to know what does Gera Bloga mean? It would be really very very easy for you to guess if you spoke Lithuanian. It means “Good and bad”- it’s a little pun in Lithuanian vocabulary we call that way of knit stitch and purl stitch: “good eye and bad eye” which at the end makes beautiful clothing for your little one!
