From clutter to conscious: Join LINELÉ on the journey to sustainable style!
Do you know that feeling when your closet is full of clothes, but you still have nothing to wear? You are staring at all those fashionable items you bought recently, and it just doesn’t feel right... You don't know how they were made, who did all the work to bring those clothes into your closet. And you are not sure if the millions of people involved were happy while making all your fancy things.
I had this experience too, so I decided to start a new chapter in my life. A life with less consumption, less buying, less waste. Choosing environmental awareness and responsibility, and the pleasure of wearing beautiful, well-made, and lasting clothing. The idea of Sustainable Fashion was an eye-opener! I wanted to be not just a consumer, but also a part of this beautiful movement. That’s how LINELÉ was born.
Everything you see here is made by me – a woman who deeply enjoys creating something beautiful, unique, and comfortable. My name is Gustė, and I am a fan of sustainable fashion. I love linen fabric very much, so everything you see here is made of pure linen that I purchase from a local linen factory.
With a little help from my family, I created the LINELÉ studio, and now I am happy to make every item for you! All the packaging is made from paper and is plastic-free (unless customs require additional documents in a plastic sleeve). “No waste” is one of my main goals, so I use almost every scrap of fabric. Let’s make Earth a better place together!
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LINEN FABRIC
• We use pure linen that we purchase from a local linen factory. Lithuania, which is one of the three Baltic countries, has long-lasting traditions in producing high-quality linen fabrics.
• Linen is initially stiff, but it softens and becomes more flexible over time.
• Linen fabric is three times stronger and five times more resistant to abrasion, and it has a shinier appearance than cotton.
• The tendency to wrinkle is often considered part of linen's particular "charm".
• Linen does not cause allergic reactions and acts as a natural antiseptic, with fewer mud, soap, and whiting residues remaining in the fabric.
• Linen fabric quickly absorbs and releases moisture, providing warmth in cold weather and cooling the body during hot midday.
• Linen fabric is resistant to static electric charge.
• Linen is an ecological fabric because it produces minimal waste and has no harmful effects on nature and the environment.
• If you purchase a linen product, rest assured that you have invested in a luxurious, natural item with functionality. You are contributing to sustainable living and slow fashion, which means you are always one step ahead!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Linen can be washed by hand or in the machine, and dry cleaning can also be applied. Never wash white and dark fabrics together. If you use a washing machine, do not overload it, allowing the linen item to move freely. Otherwise, it may become striped. Whether washing by hand or in the machine, rinse the products carefully. Linen will wrinkle after washing, so the washed and wrung-out fabric should be properly hung. Since linen dries quickly, avoid overdrying it, as it will be difficult to iron. The best way to iron linen products is when they are slightly damp; this makes ironing easier and eliminates the need for additional dampness. It is recommended to iron the wrong side of the fabric to preserve its texture, shine, and color. Use a medium-hot iron with steam to remove creases. After ironing, leave linen items slightly damp and hang them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated room until completely dry.
