About our manufacture
Our weaving mill in the Mühlviertel region of Austria has been manufacturing fabrics since 1853. Our family business is now in its 6th generation of management and stands for natural high-quality textiles. With special devotion we have commited ourselves to Jacquard weaving, a technique that allows for richly detailed patterns. The linen yarns for our half-linen fabrics are a 100% European product. The strictest quality criteria also apply to the selection of our cottons. This will become apparent when you hold our products in your hands.
Our values
- Family business in 6th generation

- woven & sewn in Austria
The right care
You needn’t worry too much about the correct care of linen products. As long as you follow a few simple tips, you will continue to enjoy our products for a long time. Do not overfill the drum, and do not use water-saving programmes. Although we recommend a washing temperature of 40 °C, our products can also be washed at 60 °C without any problem. It is best to use mild liquid detergent without fabric brighteners or softeners, and at low spin speeds. Linen is best ironed while it is still damp.

- Half-linen loves to be washed
- We recommend a washing temperature of 40 °C or 60 °C
- Please do not use fabric brighteners or softeners
- Water-saving programmes are harmful to products made of natural fibres
