The care guide
Linen and stoneware are easy to look after, and they age well. Pick a piece or a stain: we will tell you what to do.
Why linen gets better with time
The flax fibre is long and hollow. With every wash it becomes a little softer without losing its strength: a linen sheet easily lasts two to three times longer than a cotton one. Our linen is pre-washed, so it will not shrink at home.
Linen does not like bleach, which burns the fibre, or fabric softener, which coats it and stops it from absorbing moisture. A gentle detergent is enough, in a small dose: linen does not get very dirty and lets go of stains easily.
Stoneware, tableware for every day
Fired at 1,280 °C, our stoneware is vitrified right through. It goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and the plates are ovenproof up to 220 °C. Just avoid thermal shocks: a dish straight out of the fridge should not go directly into a very hot oven.
The foot of each piece is left unglazed. It can mark a delicate table: a linen trivet, or a quick rub of fine sandpaper under the foot, solves that.
Care questions
Does linen need ironing?
No, washed linen is meant to be crumpled. If you like a crisp tablecloth, iron it while still damp, on the reverse, on a high setting.
Can my linen go in the tumble dryer?
Yes, on a low setting, taking it out as soon as the cycle ends. Air drying is still the gentlest for the fibre.
A stoneware piece has chipped: what should I do?
Bring it back to the shop: Camille smooths small chips on the grinding wheel, free of charge, for every piece bought from us.
