How to care for linen

Linen gets softer every time you wash it. Here is how to keep it looking good.

1. Wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle, with similar colours.
2. Skip the dryer. Hang it to dry, and smooth it with your hands while it is damp.
3. Iron it slightly damp, or don’t: the soft creases are part of linen’s charm.
4. Store it folded in a dry place, never in plastic.
