Fabric

Vintage Linen has been our most popular fabric for over a decade. This collection pays homage to everything we love about linen that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Derived from the flax plant, linen's durability and tendency to grow softer with time make it ideal for bedding that can last for years. Linen is moisture absorbent and insulating. It keeps you cool when you are hot, and warms when you are cold. Linen is also naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.

Our Vintage Linen uses a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft. The weave is extremely balanced, which produces a linen fabric that is both soft and sturdy. The magic of our Vintage Linen is in the special washing process we use in our dye house. This wash opens and penetrates the depths of the fibers, softening each one and creating a truly special sleep.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Do not use bleach on linen. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat. Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our linen should be pressed while slightly damp using the Linen or High setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is the Vintage Linen Swatch made from?

The swatch is 100% linen, garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes in MATTEO's Los Angeles dye house. The washing process opens and penetrates the fibers, producing a fabric that is both soft and sturdy from the first touch.

How big is each Vintage Linen fabric swatch?

Each swatch measures 10 x 10 inches (25 x 25 cm), large enough to assess true color, texture, and hand-feel before placing a full bedding order.

Which colors are available in the Vintage Linen Swatch?

The swatch is available in 15 colors: White, Moon, Off White, Greige, Salt, Iris, Mica, Oat, Bay, Alpine, Coal, Fig, Bark, Night, and Smoke. Ordering multiple swatches is the most reliable way to compare shades in your own lighting before committing to a full sheet set or duvet cover.

Why should I order a fabric swatch before buying MATTEO linen bedding?

Because Vintage Linen is garment-dyed, there is a natural shade variation of +/- 10% between dye lots, and screen colors cannot replicate how a color reads in a specific room's light. Seeing and feeling the fabric first ensures the color and texture match your space before you invest in a Vintage Linen Sheet Set, Duvet Cover, or Fitted Sheet.
