We use high-quality, eco-friendly linen made from natural European flax fibers. Our linen is breathable, long-lasting, and softens beautifully over time.

Absolutely! Linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics available today. Derived from the European flax plant, it requires minimal water to grow, absorbs large amounts of CO₂, and uses the entire plant in production, leaving little to no waste. At the end of its life cycle, linen is fully biodegradable and compostable.

Linen is stronger, more absorbent, and more durable than cotton. It has excellent breathability, making it comfortable for all seasons. Unlike cotton, linen naturally resists bacteria and becomes softer with every wash.

No, Arvénoir linen garments won't shrink because we pre-wash our fabrics before production. Our linen undergoes a gentle, eco-friendly pre-wash process using minimal water and biodegradable softers. This ensures the fabric is softened, stabilized, and free from residual shrinkage before it is cut and sewn into garments. By pre-washing our linen, we maintain its natural texture while reducing environmental impact, so your clothing stays true to size wash after wash. For best care, we recommend washing in cold water and air drying.

Fill a sink with cool water and add a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Gently swish the garment to remove dirt and stains, then drain the sink and rinse thoroughly in fresh water. Avoid wringing the fabric; instead, press out excess water and hang it in a shaded area to dry.

Yes! Wash linen garments with similar colors on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, as it can weaken the fibers. After washing, hang the items in the shade to dry. If necessary, use a steam iron on high heat.

Before storing, wash your linen pieces to remove dirt and body oils. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent wrinkles, fold items loosely and avoid overcrowding. When taking them out of storage, hang them up and steam if necessary.

To reduce wrinkles, remove linen from the washing machine immediately and hang it on a sturdy hanger. If folding, avoid excessive creasing and store at the top of your clothing pile. Linen naturally conforms to your body as you wear it, which minimizes excessive wrinkling.

A high-quality steam iron is ideal for linen. Iron garments while they are still slightly damp, using the highest steam setting. If needed, spritz them lightly with water before ironing for the best results.

The easiest way to get wrinkles out of linen is to iron it while it's damp, using a steam iron on high heat. If wrinkles persist, use a spray bottle to mist the fabric before ironing.

Linen doesn’t stretch like synthetic fabrics, but it does relax over time, molding to your body for a comfortable fit. To prevent shrinkage, always wash in cool water and avoid using a dryer. We pre-wash our linen before sewing to help reduce shrinkage.

To revive a shrunken linen garment, submerge it in lukewarm water for 10–15 minutes, allowing the fibers to gently relax. Lightly press out excess moisture without twisting, then let it air dry naturally. While still delicately damp, use a high-quality steam iron on a low setting, guiding the fabric outward with smooth, measured strokes to restore its original silhouette. With care and finesse, your linen will regain its effortless drape and timeless elegance.
