Linen T-Shirt

Women's linen T-shirt made in France by Aatise: where does it come from?

It is important to note that linen from France is recognised as being among the best. Its fibre is long and rare, as only a certain amount of land is cultivated each year. And it is in France that all the stages involved in designing and manufacturing Aatise linen T-shirts take place.

The linen T-shirt made in France that you receive comes from linen fields in northern France (95%). The rest comes from Belgium and Holland.

A unique range of linen T-shirts made in France:

And, where other manufacturers go back and forth between knitting/dyeing and manufacturing, at Aatise, everything is done without any transport between stages! Because everything is manufactured in the same place: at our partner's premises in Pau.

What are the advantages of using French linen in our women's linen T-shirts?

In a nutshell, linen requires a lot of attention, but very little water, as it does not need to be irrigated to grow. The oceanic climate in northern France is ideal for growing linen without the need for water, saving 1,800 litres per T-shirt. The cultivation of linen for T-shirts made in France also allows for the oxygenation of the soil. This is thanks to the plant's roots, which enrich and aerate the soil. The roots fix CO2 in the soil: an average of nearly 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per hectare.

At Aatise, we prioritise environmental protection. And we choose to produce women's and men's T-shirts in linen rather than other eco-friendly materials. Because linen is certified zero waste! This means that every part of the flax plant can be used. Flax seeds, flax oil, mulch, and fibres can all be used to produce other finished products.

The steps involved in the production of linen

Here are the steps involved in the production of linen so that Aatise can receive its rolls of linen fabric. This enables us to manufacture the entire range of Aatise brand linen T-shirts made in France. Our partners in northern France use their expertise to grow the flax that is used to make your Aatise linen T-shirts. Aatise seeks to protect and preserve this centuries-old know-how! It cannot be relocated under any circumstances. 

Why is our range eco-friendly?

It is important to note that the fibre used in our Aatise T-shirts is compostable at the end of its life. We use Oeko-Tex certified cotton yarn to manufacture our T-shirts. There are no labels or other details on your garment that could prevent the T-shirt from decomposing when placed in compost for several weeks.

But above all, before it's time to say goodbye, your Aatise women's linen T-shirt will stay with you for many years. This is thanks to its quality, as French sewing professionals make it. But also thanks to the quality of the fabric used to make it. It will easily become the most eco-friendly linen T-shirt in your wardrobe, and one that you will wear for years to come!

How to care for your Aatise linen T-shirt?

By following the washing instructions, you can extend the life of your linen T-shirt. However, there are also some other good habits to adopt: never wash your linen T-shirts with jeans that have metal buttons or fastenings, for example. In the washing machine, the friction can cause holes in the fabric.

It is important to note that our white linen T-shirts for women are completely dye-free. Their true white colour will reveal itself over time with repeated washing. This means that the product you receive is the natural colour of the linen fabric, as it has not been treated.

Unlike other linen T-shirts for women, which are dyed (blue, grey, etc.).

- We recommend washing at 30°C, inside out.

- Do not bleach.

- Do not tumble dry.

- The fabric will shrink in the wash.

To restore its shape, iron it with steam. - We recommend drying flat. - Wash with a delicate detergent to keep your linen garment looking its best!
