Linen Care
One of the lovely things about linen is that it only gets better with time.
All TESSE bedding is made from 100% French flax linen and stonewashed for softness from the very beginning. With a little care, your linen will continue to soften with every wash and can be enjoyed for years to come.
Washing
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C.
- Wash with similar colours.
- Use a mild liquid detergent, avoiding bleach.
- Avoid fabric softeners, as they can leave a coating on natural fibres.
- Don't overload your washing machine — linen likes a little room to move.
Drying
Line drying is best, preferably in the shade to help preserve the colour of your prints.
If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting.
Ironing
There's no need to iron your TESSE linen. We love its naturally relaxed texture and the soft creases that come with it.
If you prefer a smoother finish, iron or steam on a medium setting while the fabric is still slightly damp.
A Note on Natural Linen
As a natural fibre, linen may have small variations in texture, including the occasional slub. These are part of its character rather than imperfections.
