Our Story of Linen Craft

Historically, making the bed was an arduous chore. In richer households a maid would have a daily routine which involved first taking off all the sheets, counterpane and blankets and giving them a hearty shake. She would then lay them out over a chair, careful to keep them in the right order. She would also shake the pillows to redistribute the feathers. The bed would then air whilst she did some other jobs, like preparing breakfast.

The slow living movement can seem rather monocultural, and many people are put off sustainable options like ethical clothing or green beauty products due to their price tag. Which is why we were delighted to find Cindy Luquin and her blog, Cultura con Wellness, where she talks about her efforts to empower the Latino community and people of colour through her intentionally conscious lifestyle. And we were even more thrilled when Cindy agreed to feature on A Simple Path.
