Why is Linen a Popular choice for Sustainable Wholesale Products? 

Today, more and more people are thinking about the environment. When it comes to being eco-conscious, linen fabric is one of the top choices for eco-warriors. Flax plants, which produce linen, require less water and fewer chemicals than cotton or synthetic fibers. At Rarfusion, we are proud to say the linen has been sourced from farms that respect the soil and the fact that they grow flax using natural methods. Linen also decomposes more quickly than plastic or man-made fabric, meaning it doesn’t contribute much to landfills. Certain fabrics might make you sweat and feel gross, but linen allows your skin to breath and stays fresh throughout the day. This organic attribute is among the reasons why linen is highly sought after in clothing, which particularly takes into account those who suffer from allergies or have very sensitive skin. And because linen holds up well and only gets softer with each wash, it is a conscious choice for people looking to buy less stuff but make certain the clothes they do purchase — or the fabric they purchase for their homes will endure. Rarfusion’s linen goods are crafted carefully to also minimize waste in the manufacturing process. We conserve stretch knit fabric and cut efficiently, using as much of a small scrap as we can. This means less filth in the world. The digital industry is also increasingly reliant on more sustainable products, and linen makes great sense for many reasons too. Unlike artificial fabrics, which originate in oil and are bad for the planet, linen is renewable and natural. Pick linen from Rarafusion and you become part of a movement towards better, greener products that feel good to wear and use. Not only is this great for the earth, it is great for your brand’s reputation and performance.

At Rarfusion, we observe lots of people opt to put linen in bed sheets, pillowcases, curtains and tablecloths. The natural fibers in linen keep these items fresh and cool, the ideal combination to make a home feel comfortable and clean. Consider, for example, linen sheets: They’re popular because they are strong and soft, and air passes through them readily. That translates to a good night’s sleep, especially during hot summer nights. Linen curtains can lighten up a room by allowing natural light to filter in and still offer some level of privacy. Linen table cloths and napkins provide an elegant addition to any meal, and anything that doesn’t wipe off can easily be soaked in some warm water. Linen finds applications beyond home textiles, in bags, towels and even wall coverings. The fabric is so hard-wearing that it quite simply lasts a long time, and that’s clearly important for products used every day. Linen is also naturally resistance to dirt and bacteria, so it will help to keep things cleaner. Rarfusion is proud to carry several types of linen fabric perfect for many household and lifestyle items. Linen’s neutral color tones, which coordinate with a range of home decor styles, from modern to rustic, make the fabric popular among many shoppers. Since linen is woven from natural fibers, it is also an uptick for those looking to minimize the plastic and synthetic materials in their homes. In general, linen is an appealing and practical fabric that can enhance many aspects of everyday existence and this explains why it has always been a favorite for home textiles (and beyond). 

What Are The Right Ways to Preserve Linen Fabric Quality In Bulk Order? 

If you are going to purchase linen fabric in bulk, it is essential that you take good care of such a material so that it will continue looking and feeling amazing. At Rarfusion, we guide our clients on the various options available to keep the quality of their linen fabric up to date, especially when bulk buying. Linen’s first commandment is that it be kept cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. If exposed to excessive heat or light, the fabric will fade, weaken and lose its lovely colour over time. Linen also should be stored rolled or loosely folded to prevent difficult-to-remove deep creases. When you are washing linen in large quantities, it’s crucial that you use a mild detergent with no bleach or harsh detergents. Doing so with cool or lukewarm water can help to prevent shrinking and keep the fibers strong. When washed, linen must be dried with care — hung in the shade or tum- bled dry gently on low. Overdrying, for example, can leave linen stiff and coarse. Linen does require ironing frequently, as the fibers wrinkle in response to wash and wear. By following these simple techniques, work places can ensure that their linen fabric remains fresh and durable for many years, keeping linen products looking beautiful for comfortable wear by customers.
