THE LINEN WORKS PRESS
The Linen Works receives lots of attention from both the monthly glossies and newspapers. Below are some extracts which might be of interest.
FT How to Spend It - Lucia van der Post
I'm particularly enamoured of its unbleached flax Bastide Tea Towel. It's made in that authentic, slightly rough, pale beige linen and through it run some distinctive red stripes....a collection of similar old-fashioined things, most of which have been made by the same companies for a very long time. There are ostrich feather dusters, plain white and red tablecloths, Shaker peg rails, crisp white bedlinen and a large selection of original French ticking fabrics."

Earn your Stripes
Marina Guirey has done it again. Her new Linen Works mail-order catalogue is a joy from cover to cover, crammed with French fabric and oilcloth tablecloths in every kind of stripe imaginable, from the rustic cotton Rennes and fat ticking Rouen to the red edged unbleached Bastide which resembles a gigantic tradtional tea towel.
