Elegant Linen Clothing from Lithuania

Amour Linen is a quality brand of linen clothing, from our friends in Lithuania. And unlike cotton, it doesn’t cling to your body, so no static electricity!

Linen (along with cotton and hemp) are the best ‘natural fibres’ to wear as they don’t release microplastics (try to choose organic or recycled cotton, as conventional cotton uses pesticides). Linen comes from flaxseeds, so is more local (often grown in Europe) and uses less water than cotton.

Cool in summer and warm in winter, it gets softer with age. Its only caveat is that it wrinkles, so avoid it if you don’t like ironing (or don’t mind being a bit ‘crinkly-clothed!’)

All the linen is locally sourced and the dying factory is nearby too. Everything is made by a team of in-house seamstresses. Any leftovers are made into other products, and all items are sent in zero waste packaging.

Where is Lithuania?

You will find that linen clothing often is from Lithuania, a Baltic state in eastern Europe, and home to one of the world’s oldest languages (related to Sanskrit, which is used to chant mantras in India).

It’s home to The Stelmuze, the oldest tree in Europe – an oak. Not surprising, considering one third of this beautiful country is entirely forest.

Wavy Linen Clothing (also from Lithuania)

Wavy Linen is a quality family-run brand of linen clothing from Lithuania, run by a pattern cutter, with everything expertly-made to Fair Trade principles, and sent out in compostable packaging.

Leftover fabrics are turned into pattern swatches, to send out to customers, rather than go to waste. The range includes comfortable summer hats, plus pretty blouses and skirts, along with elegant summer dresses and jackets.
