Grae Cove takes sustainability seriously and that’s why they chose linen as the first fabric for their collections. In a recent blog post, they shared their love for linen and now they want to dive deeper into the sustainability aspect of this amazing fabric.

Linen Requires Fewer Water, Chemicals, and Pesticides

Compared to conventionally grown cotton, linen requires fewer chemicals, pesticides, and water to grow. The flax plant, from which linen is derived, can be grown without the use of harmful chemicals, making it a more sustainable choice. Grae Cove is committed to sourcing organic linen fabrics at accessible prices, so customers can feel confident knowing that the products they’re buying are free from harmful pesticides.

Grae Cove also believes in responsible production practices. Their linen garments are made from 100% European linen and are certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100. They’re transparent about where their products are made and go above and beyond to ensure that their tailors are compensated fairly for their excellent work.

When it comes to the lifecycle of linen, this fabric is not only durable but also biodegradable, making it a smart choice for those who want to minimize their environmental impact. And, because linen gets even stronger when wet, Grae Cove’s products are constructed to last for years to come.

Conclusion

Grae Cove is always striving to make responsible choices. Their linen fashions are meant to be loved for life, and they hope to inspire others to make better choices when it comes to the fabrics they wear.
