Protecting the Environment and Workers Rights

Linen is for life as are the memories we create when gathered together around a table. Our products have been made to stand the test of time, ready to be passed down just like Granny's recipes.

We're busting when pride when it comes to our products because we source supremely soft, environmentally friendly fabric made exclusively made from flax, a natural fibre known for its durability (it can last centuries and was even used in Ancient Egypt!).

While the flax plant can be grown worldwide, we specifically source ours from Normandy, France. This region offers premium production due to its optimal climatic conditions that enable the cultivation of flax in a natural and ecologically responsible manner, without the need for pesticides or hazardous chemicals.

Did you know that linen is 30% thicker than cotton? Not to mention, our linen is carefully dyed free from harmful chemicals.

We prioritise sustainable practices, safeguarding the ecosystem throughout the entire process. By the time our linen reaches your home, you can be confident that it has been produced with unwavering dedication to environmental preservation.

Certifications

Long Lunch Linen is OEKO-TEX certified - meaning that our fabric is tested to make sure no harmful substances are used before it's sent to us. A stamp of approval is sent with every shipment highlighting that our flax is authentically grown in France before being sent to be manufactured.

We are also certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which is recognised as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. What makes it different from other certifications is that it includes a list of process-related criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain. To obtain a certification, our linen needs to comply with social criteria such as working conditions, pay, and stringent health and safety standards throughout the supply chain.

The SA8000 Standard is a document which is independently audited in relation to the protection of workers' rights. By having this certificate, it means that the factory has upheld SA8000 compliance for three years beforehand and continues to do so with regular checks.
