Olea ~ Folklore Dress

Meet the Olea ~ Folklore Dress! 🫒

Olea is an ancient Greek name meaning olive berry or olive tree. 🕊

This solid olive dress boasts our brand NEW 100% linen material!!

Some things that I absolutely love about this fabric is that it softens with each wear and wash, is incredibly breathable and healthy for your body to wear, and it is so sturdy in an incredible earthy kind of way!🏆

The flax plant is grown in cooler climates, (like northern France). This results in a stronger fiber that is less likely to break during spinning or weaving.

French linen yarns are usually much finer than those made from other fibers. This makes the fabric stronger, softer and more delicate - but also more expensive - here comes the why!

The flax plant is a labor-intensive crop to grow, and it requires a lot of land. The climate in France is ideal for growing flax.

The high cost of flax makes French linen more expensive than other types of linen. The labor-intensive process of extracting the fibers and spinning them into yarn also contributes to the cost.

It can take up to two years to harvest enough flax to make half a kilogram (one pound) of linen yarn. (Compare that to cotton for perspective. A cotton mill can produce enough yarn in 30 days to wrap around the earth 2,300 times.)
This makes French flax linen more expensive than other types of linen.

Linen is also called the heirloom fabric as garments last SO long they can be passed down through the generations!

With its Greek name and natural fibers, Olea is bringing all the nurturing olden day vibes! Back to the earth. Working in the fields. Plucking olives fresh from the branch. 🫒🍃
