Our GOTS-certified 100% organic linen napkins are made of flax grown organically in France and woven into fabric in Portugal.

Flax is generally considered a sustainable fibre, as its cultivation requires fewer chemicals than cotton and little or no irrigation. However, fewer chemicals does not mean no chemicals and flax is typically grown using an array of fungicides, pesticides and petroleum-based fertilisers.

In contrast to most linen napkins on the market, the flax in ours has been grown organically, which means no chemicals have been used and the flax has been grown in rotation with other crops, creating a more diverse and wildlife-friendly farm.

Organic flax currently accounts for only 1% of global flax production and is grown by a handful of pioneering farms in France. We visited some of these farms in 2018. You can read about our visit to them here.
