Unlike synthetic garments that pill and fray, authentic 60 Lea European flax is a living textile that strengthens 30% when wet and grows softer with every single wash. Follow our simple atelier care ritual to preserve its radiant drape and comfort for years to come.
A simple, four-step cadence engineered to protect natural flax integrity and delicate shell button craftsmanship.
Machine wash on gentle cycle or hand-wash in cold water. Hot water damages natural fibers and can lead to thermal shrinkage.
Use mild liquid detergent. Never use bleach, optical brighteners, or chemical fabric softeners which clog flax pores.
Gently reshape garment while damp. Hang dry on a wide wooden hanger or dry flat in shaded breeze away from direct harsh sun.
Iron on medium-high heat while the shirt is slightly damp for effortless crispness. Or embrace natural relaxed micro-wrinkles.
Essential habits to keep your pure 60 Lea garments radiant and supple over a lifetime of wear.
Chlorine or oxygen bleach severely breaks down natural flax cellulose fibers, leading to yellowing and premature tearing.
High-heat tumble drying cooks natural fibers and causes harsh shrinking. Always opt for natural hanging or flat air-drying.
Never wash fine 60 Lea linen with abrasive denim, metal zippers, or heavy hooks that can snag delicate yarns.
Spray your Flora Garden Eau de Parfum (8hr+ long-lasting) onto pulse points before buttoning up to avoid concentrated oil stains.
Store hung on wide-shouldered wooden hangers or gently folded in cool, dry closets. Avoid non-breathable sealed plastic bags.
Treat spills immediately by gently blotting with cold water and mild soap. Scrubbing ruptures fine linen yarn surfaces.
