The delicate paisley pattern of this pure linen placemat is created on jacquard looms. For the linen, yarn from the best European long fiber flax is processed, this gives the fabric its delicate shimmering luster and shines slightly, as is typical for good linen. The use of undyed linen in the warp and dyed yarn in the weft creates the blue background from which the natural colored paisley stands out beautifully. The natural colored pattern uses the undyed yarn in the weft. All around, a handmade hemstitch adorns the placemat, which is just as suitable for the festive table as it is for everyday use, because linen is stain-resistant, easy to clean, extremely durable and therefore very long-lasting. Especially if you make sure that it is still damp when ironing - this protects the fabric and ironing is easier by hand.

Erika Vaitkute has been passionate about textiles and fabrics, especially linen, for as long as she can remember. From a young age, she sewed with her mother, who also taught her to appreciate Lithuanian linen. It is important to know that Lithuania has a living and deeply rooted linen tradition dating back thousands of years - it is therefore not unusual for Lithuanians to engage with and continue old textile techniques. On the contrary, in recent years there has been a strong resurgence of interest in them, both throughout the Baltic States and among young artists, designers and craftspeople.
In the meantime, Erika Vaitkute's path (and her sewing machine) has taken her to Germany, but her passion for fine linen textiles and the traditional craft behind them has remained. So she set up a small studio in Hamburg, where she and her team design the patterns and collections. However, the fabrics are still woven and made up in her manufactory in Lithuania. According to all the rules of Lithuanian linen weaving, sophisticated handcrafted pieces are created there, from table linen to hand and kitchen towels to blankets. Only the best linen from long-fiber flax of European origin is used. This not only guarantees the high quality of the linen, but also the careful processing of the ancient crop under fair conditions.
