Linen as a material
Linen is one of the world's oldest and most valued textile materials, and its use has survived for centuries due to its excellent properties. Linen is a natural fiber made from the stem of the flax plant.
Linen is a breathable, durable and environmentally friendly material. It is perfect for warm summer days, but can also be used all year round if layered properly.
The strength of flax lies in its properties:
- Breathability : Linen allows air to circulate, which keeps you cool even in hot weather.
- Durability : Linen fiber is stronger than cotton, which makes linen clothing durable over time and use.
- Absorbency : Linen absorbs moisture effectively, but dries quickly.
- Ecological : Growing flax requires less water and chemicals compared to many other fiber crops, making flax a more sustainable choice.
The beautiful and natural texture of linen brings a casual elegance to clothing. It wrinkles easily, but that is part of the charm of linen and embodies its natural character.
Finnish linen dress – How to recognize quality
A high-quality Finnish linen dress is a timeless garment that will stand the test of time and wear. But how can you recognize a high-quality linen dress? Here are a few important points:
- Material density and feel : High-quality linen feels soft, yet sturdy. It doesn't feel too thin, and it's not too see-through.
- Seam finishing : Neat and tidy seams are a sign of quality. Check in particular for the durability of the seams and any fraying.
- Certifications : Certifications such as ÖKO-TEX indicate that the linen has been produced without harmful chemicals.
- Domestic manufacturing : Finnish design and manufacturing often guarantee high quality and responsibility in the production chain.
- Durable dyeing : High-quality linen withstands washing without its colors fading.
A linen dress should be comfortable to wear, breathable and functional in many situations. When you choose a high-quality Finnish linen dress, it will serve you for years and only get better with use.

Finnish linen dress – What is ÖKO certification?
The ÖKO-TEX certificate is an international standard that ensures that a product is safe for its user and does not contain harmful substances. The certificate is particularly important for responsible consumption.
Our linen products have been granted this certificate, and for us, responsibility and high quality are always our top priority in our clothing!
When a linen dress has an ÖKO-TEX certificate:
-
No harmful chemicals : No toxic substances have been used in production that could irritate the skin or pose a health risk.
-
Environmentally friendly manufacturing : The certificate covers the entire manufacturing process, so you can be sure that the product is manufactured responsibly and in an environmentally friendly manner.
-
Safe for sensitive skin : Linen is already naturally skin-friendly, and with the ÖKO-TEX label you know you are getting a product that is also suitable for sensitive skin.
We use top-quality ÖKO-certified stone-washed linen in our products.
Stonewashed refers to a special treatment where linen is washed with stones or a similar abrasive material. This gives the fabric a softer, worn look and makes it feel pleasant and look a bit casual.
By choosing an ÖKO-TEX certified Finnish linen dress, you support not only your own well-being, but also the sustainable development of the environment.
