More facts about our linens

As we mentioned before (in this post), linen fabrics are biodegradable and recyclable.

Did you know Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant? Linen is not easy and labor-intensive to manufacture. 

Flax is grown both for its seeds and for its fiber. Various parts of the plant have been used to make fabric, dye, paper, medicines, fishing nets, hair gels, and soap.

It takes about 100 days from seed planting to harvesting of the Flax plant

Our Cape cod range out of the 2012 collection (below) is well known for the use of linens. Bandhini's most popular linens include Natural Linen and Linen Oxford Silver.

After the cultivating and harvesting of the flax plant, the fiber will be taken from the stalk. This fiber will be spinned and woven into a beautiful linen textile. 

Our production unit in India will use this linen to create cushions, quilts, bedsashes or throws by hand following Tai's designs closely.
