Linen Craft

Each year LinenMe proudly showcase our linen homewares at the Maison & Objet international shows. It's a great chance to meet other retailers and producers, and to give customers and buyers the chance to see our products in all their glory. This year we were especially delighted to learn that we have been chosen for their exclusive Sustainability itinerary, which recognises those brands who are doing their bit to minimise their impact on the environment. The criteria for selection for the Sustainability itinerary are: sustainable procurement, a ‘less is more’ approach to reducing waste, and showing respect for fellow human beings and the environment. We are proud to use green energy and to reduce waste by by turning even the smallest off-cut of fabric into hand woven placemats. And it's great that prestigious trade fairs like Maison & Objet are acknowledging those brands that have eco-friendly values at their core. 

With the summer holidays fast approaching we’re starting to think about what to take on vacation, and whether a few days in the possibly-rainy British countryside warrants any new summer purchases. Having decided that this year we probably won’t be lying by a pool sipping kombucha tonics, we’ve made a wishlist for that kind of holiday instead. The kind of holiday where the sun shines constantly, there’s nothing to do but eat and swim, and the kids are free to roam outside all day. If you’re heading off on a trip like this then these are some things you might find useful. And if, like us, you’re thinking more raincoats than resorts you can daydream along with us.
