“We founded Linenshed on the idea that everyone deserves to live in linen,” says Baudouin Deboulle, Managing Director of Linenshed Australia. “There is nothing better than sinking into a soft and comfortable bed at the end of a long day, especially with the heat really setting it.”
The pure European flax linen used by Linenshed in manufacturing each item in their collection has unique qualities that make it ideal for bed linen, window treatments, soft furnishings and even sleepwear.
Pure European flax linen is a breathable fabric that adapts to body temperature while still allowing the skin to breathe. Considering the skin is the largest organ in the human body and critical to detoxification of the whole body, it is highly desirable to sleep in fabric that allows the skin to do what it is meant to do: protect and purify.
Linen that adapts to body temperature is critical in the hot summer months as sleep can easily be disturbed by temperature changes and uncomfortable fluctuations in ambient temperature. With pure flax linen bedding, the body’s temperature remains constant at a comfortable level that supports a better night’s sleep.
Pure linen has been known for centuries as a fabric fit for royalty. Linen has been found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs as well as preserved in the ruins of mediaeval castles of nobility and royalty. This bears testimony not only to the luxurious quality of the unique fabric, but also its durability. Unlike cotton and cotton blends, pure linen only gets stronger over time and will not rip or tear.
“Pure European linen is elegant, refined and close to nature,” says Deboulle. “It is simple luxury that is easy to live in and easy to care for. Our linen products only require machine washing and a quick toss in the tumble dryer every now and again to maintain softness. All our sheets are given a soft wash treatment before shipping, so they be slept on with comfort from the moment they arrive.”
Linenshed does not believe in mass production. There are no production lines, no warehousing and no mass manufacturing processes. This is individualised approach and attention to detail is what has put Linenshed ahead of the pack for premium linen in Australia. The linen items offered for sale are made individually for each order, so customers can be sure they will get exactly what they want.
“The care we take over each item begins long before the sewing starts,” explains Deboulle. “Each season’s premium linen fabric is hand selected and worked in small batches because no bulk production could reach our exacting standards and attention to detail.”
Australian customers can browse pure linen products including flat sheets, fitted sheets, duvets, pillowcases, bedspreads, valances and more on their easy to us website. The range of colours available are sophisticated and elegant, from classic white to ice blue or a more striking aubergine or indigo blue.
“We offer an additional service where customers can purchase a book of colour swatches before making their decision, so they be absolutely sure of choosing the colour linen that suits their decorating scheme best,” says Deboulle. “We also take additional instructions to accmmmodate beds that are not standard sizes.”
Customers in Australia and New Zealand benefit from free shipping for orders over AUD 350. With summer setting in, Linenshed is being kept busy creating solid sleep environments across the country. “People are really seeing the benefits of pure flax linen,” says Deboulle. “It is not only beautiful and extremely comfortable, it is also a healthier and more sustainable choice.”
