Welcome, LinenMe
A small family company with three generations
of experience in hand weaving luxurious
linens has made their way into the McKinnon
family of accessories. Making things by hand
allows them to maintain high quality linens
and preserve their authenticity. For centuries,
linen fabrics and products have been passed
from one generation to another by the women
in families as a dowry
for future generations to
preserve family history.
They are not only natural
and healthy to use, but
also strong and durable.
LinenMe is continuing
the tradition. Now you
can design your own
linen treat, so that your
own story can be told for
generations to come.
Alpaca Wool Textiles
Simple Things
Conceived in Ireland, born in Peru. That’s where this
story starts. While touring the east hills of Ireland,
the founders of Simple Things encountered a family
of enchanting alpacas.
It was this inspiration
that launched their
small company
with a global view
to create luxurious
100% alpaca wool
textiles that embody
extravagance, extreme
softness and warmth.
Touted to be softer,
stronger and more
breathable than
cotton, these blankets
and throws make
great home warming
gifts.
