Why use old linen in your house?
-
High-Quality Linen: French linen is made from flax, which is a strong and durable material. It's less likely to fray or wear out quickly compared to other fabrics like cotton. The fibers are naturally more absorbent and dry quickly, making them excellent for drying dishes and hands.
-
Craftsmanship: Many vintage French linens were handwoven or at least crafted with meticulous attention to detail. This craftsmanship has often stood the test of time, with towels getting softer and more absorbent with each use.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: There's a certain timelessness to vintage French textiles. The patterns are often simple, elegant, and have that “worn-in” charm that makes them look beautiful in a kitchen, adding a rustic or farmhouse aesthetic.
-
Eco-Friendly: Linen is a natural, sustainable fabric. Vintage linen, which has already been made, is even more eco-friendly than newly produced fabrics because it avoids the environmental cost of manufacturing new textiles.
-
Functionality: These tea towels are designed with utility in mind—being durable, absorbent, and fast-drying. They are usually generously sized, which makes them versatile for a variety of kitchen tasks, from drying dishes to wiping counters.
-
Age and Patina: Over time, vintage linen develops a certain patina that is highly prized. The fabric becomes softer and more absorbent the more it is used and washed, which gives it that luxurious feel.
