These exquisitely crafted shopping bags are made to order using sustainably sourced European linen yarn. Linen is exceptionally strong due to the long, tightly wrapped cellulose fibers of the flax plant. Flax is the name of the plant when it is growing or grown; Linen is the yarn or fabric we wear!
Regardless, flax / linen is known for its durability, and becomes even stronger when wet!
The crochet handles are integrated within the design ensuring strength and longevity.
Super strong, featuring the classic french market bag lacework design. The bag self stretches to accommodate the items placed inside.
When working with linen yarn, Simone uses long-line linen yarn made from flax grown in Belgium and France. It is custom wet spun in Belgium.
In addition to the certified source, the production of yarn is done with respect for the environment - no irrigation, no GMO and no waste along with 100% mechanical fibre extraction.
The colour dyes used are certified Oeko-Tex, so are completely safe.
