Linen Drawer: Traditional Redefined
Traditions give a certain meaning to our lives – without them, we would be constantly re-inventing the world around us. When it comes to fine linen, we think of embroidery as a traditional craft. Hand-made, time-consuming and utterly lovely for generations. Linen Drawer uses a particular embroidery method to hemstitch table linen for clients, adding beauty and traditional appeal.
Linen Drawer has taken the bold step to re-configure these traditional elements of design in a range of bed linen. By using traditional hemstitching on 100% pure linen bedding range, they have embraced, yet re-set, this ageless embellishment on heirloom bed linen.
It still has the look of hand-made hemstitching, but the modern twist is to pare down the design. The team has done away with the additional embroidery designs on this type of bed linen, and showcases only the hemstitching.
Instead of pristinely ironed pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers, they choose to wash the bed linen and then iron very lightly. This results in a textured, highly tactile look which twists and plays with the traditional aspect of hemstitched bed linen.
We believe that the the basic elements of luxurious pure linen and simple hemstitching embellishment are both modern, yet comfortingly evocative of past grand living.
The fun is in setting a new tradition based on the old!
