I wanted to use a more natural variety of linen in this collection and after looking at several varieties of "natural looking", I found the perfect one: 100 % pure, unbleached linen. This stuff is so pure you can even see some of the plant between the weave. When I bought it, it smelled an awful lot like... nature?? or something...
I gave it a good wash (since it was untreated a lot of dirt came out) and the end result was nice, clean, pure, linen. I made several bags with it. It is just perfect for a summer bag, especially if you like a natural look. And it's quite thicker than other varieties I've used. Went perfect with the unbleached cotton I'm using as a lining in this collection. Made a Beach Bag, a Charlotte and a Truffle.
