Once, when we visited one of our linen factories in Lithuania, we were greeted
with a big bouquet of linen flowers. We cherish these relationships with
our suppliers, and regard them as an enormous asset.
Lithuania, a Baltic coastal country not far from Anki’s native Sweden, has
a renowned, centuries-old linen tradition - both in growing flax and manufacturing
linen products of exceptional quality. Our primary Lithuanian linen supplier
was founded in 1862 and we have boundless respect for their knowledge, exquisite
craftsmanship, and third-generation weavers.
Lithuanian patterns and techniques have even served as inspiration for our
product design. One of the earliest products of civilization, linen does
not require fancy equipment to process. And, of course, it’s no small point
to us that manufacturing linen products is one of the most eco-friendly
textile processes.
Most of Area's linens are graced with the
Masters
of Linen seal, a guarantee of European Quality Linen, the finest
in the world.
