Retreat to the Outdoors with Sage & Natural Linen

Written By Julia Mathew - January 22 2019

Retreat to the Outdoors with Sage & Natural Linen

Our lives are often bombarded with information and over-saturated with the bustle of daily life, yet we're constantly seeking for ways to disconnect. Our sister brand, Sömn Linen, will help you find the tranquillity and peacefulness that one seeks in modern lifestyles.

Our newest additions of Sage and Natural to our collection were inspired by the soft tones of raw, natural Vancouver landscape. Stripped down to the bare minimum, these colours will help you escape the every day and retreat to a calmer place.
 

Sage is our take on a subtle pastel green, designed to connect your home with nature. This tone historically communicated longevity and wisdom and is associated with rejuvenation. The soft greenish-grey shade easily pairs with more soothing colours (like muted blues or earthy browns). Sage is sure to bring a calm aura to any space it's in, and will help bring the outdoors indoors.

Natural celebrates our love of linen by introducing a natural undyed version of our linen bedding. The muted and reduced quality of this linen makes it pair well with shades of white or off-white tones. This “colour” will offer the greatest longevity and has a beautiful organic look.

Not only will the new colours bring a sense of freshness into your home, but the linen material also has a multitude of benefits. Most of the benefits stem from the fact that linen is a natural fiber that grows without the need for any herbicides or pesticides. This makes it more environmentally friendly and a renewable resource. Linen will also naturally regulate your body temperature and wick away moisture. Linen has a neutral pH balance and as a result is hypoallergenic and bacteria resistant. All of these qualities mean linen is one of the longest lasting natural fibers in the world.


You can experience our linen is first-hand-- for the month of January, enjoy 15% off your first bedding set when you use the code "FirstSet" at checkout*. Visit our Gastown store or check us out online here. You can find us on Instagram or see our website for more information. Sleep well!

Sömn Linen

Written By Jonah Kellam - June 14 2017

Sömn is a word for "sleep" in Swedish and a new brand in Vancouver. Sleep is one of the deepest relaxation one can experience which is exactly what we are hoping to achieve through products of Sömn. Sömn Linen will help you find the tranquility and peacefulness that one seeks in modern lifestyles. It is also a selfish desire that we hope you too will enjoy.

Thanks to the mild BC climate you can use same set of sheets year round, and this linen compliments that by providing a warm and cozy feel in winter while remaining light and breathable enough to keep you cool all summer. But why else should you consider linen for your bed? 

Linen has a multitude of benefits. Most of the benefits stem from the fact that linen is a natural fiber that grows without the need for any herbicides or pesticides. This makes it more environmentally friendly and a renewable resource. Linen will also naturally regulate your body temperature and wick away moisture. Linen has a neutral PH balance and as a result is hypoallergenic and bacteria resistant. all of these qualities mean linen is one of the longest lasting natural fibers in the world.

Sömn Linen is made in Lithuania, one of the worlds leading producers of flax. Sömn beddings comes pre-washed so it's ready to sleep in and won't shrink. One of the other great side effects of linen is that every time you wash it, it gets even softer, making sure your bed gets better every time. 

You can come feel how supple the linen is in our Gastown store or check it out online here, see more photos on Instagram here or their website here

10 Reasons To Love Linen

Written By Orling Wu - September 14 2015

Have you ever wondered about the secrets to a beautiful bedroom?

We are in love with our new items from Linge Particulier featuring calming whites, stripes and soft colors.

Made from flax fibers, linen has been grown for thousands of years and is one of the world's oldest fabrics. In the language of flowers, the word 'flax' means 'benefactor.

Here are 10 reasons to love linen:


1. Linen has high air permeability and heat conductivity properties – that means, it is a breathable fabric – makes you warm in the winter and keeps cool in the summer.

2. Linen can absorb as much as 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling wet… thus, always having a pleasant, fresh, cool feeling when touched or slept on.

3. Linen sheets have a distinct, distinguished texture and delightful softness to them… in fact, becoming even softer and shinier with each washing.

4. It is anti-static and can even help soften and preserve the skin due to its natural pH balance.

5. A linen sheet actually repels dirt.

6. Linen bedding is twice as durable as cotton bedding and can last decades. Definitely worth the investment!

7. It is environmentally friendly – all the flax used to make linen is used in other ways – the seeds are pressed to make linseed oil which is used in floor coverings, such as linoleum, and paint. Linen is a renewable resource and it needs no irrigation. Linen is also fully biodegradable.

8. Linen fabric has a light massaging effect because of the microscopic breaks throughout the fabric.

9. To own bed sheets of pure linen is certainly a status symbol… a choice and reflection of a more prestigious lifestyle (and always has been)

10. They simply look beautiful

If you dream of sleeping soundly on heavenly soft sheets that are all-natural, breathable, adjust to your body temperature, and are environmentally friendly- You will love linen!

Duvet covers, flat sheet, fitted sheet, pillow cases and throw cushions are now available online and in store.
