General information
What makes linen different?
There's so much to love about flax! Not only will you fall in love with its aesthetic quality, but you'll also appreciate its other qualities: it stands the test of time, it regulates the indoor temperature according to the outdoor one, you'll feel connected to nature!
What is 170 g/mpg?
g/mp stands for grams per square meter, referring to the metric weight measurement of a fabric. A higher gram/square meter represents a higher density. Our linens are proudly 170 g/mp and are the optimal weight for quality, warmth, comfort and durability.
What is the difference between our genuine linen fabrics and those that are artificially soaked?
Unlike other bed linen brands, our linen is soaked using natural pumice stones, without any toxic chemicals. So, by buying from Genuin, you'll experience a beneficial night's sleep in the most natural way possible and enjoy the natural touch of linen.

What is stone washed linen?
Stone wash is a modern and safe technology to soften linen material which is by itself quite hard, natural. Through repeated washings on the stone, the linen becomes softer, more sensitive.
Will the colors of my underwear match?
Flax is a natural fiber and, as such, linen can have natural characteristics, including thicker yarns in places (in the process of yarn production, flax yarns often become knotted). The color of natural linen depends largely on its growing conditions, climate and geographical position. Colors can vary slightly between different seasons and dye batches. If you need a matching set, we recommend ordering everything in one purchase.
Is linen eco-friendly?
The short answer is yes, our linen is 100% organic! It is a natural fiber derived from the flax plant, which needs no pesticides to grow and requires extremely little water compared to cotton. Every part of the flax plant is used to produce various products, from linen fabrics to linseed oil. In addition, the linen can be recycled and is naturally biodegradable, which puts it at the top of the eco league.
What is the OEKO-TEX certificate?
All Genuin products are made from OEKO-TEX certified linen fabrics. The certification ensures the human-ecological safety of textile products at all stages of production (raw materials and fibers, yarns, fabrics, finished products). Products that are OEKO-TEX certified are free of allergenic dyes, pesticides, heavy metals and other harmful substances. Certification is voluntary and must be updated annually.
Can you make custom sizes?
We offer custom sizes for bed linens, tablecloths, tablecloths, beds, pillowcases, curtains and linen draperies. To request a custom size, please send us an email at hello@genuin.shop and we will calculate your price, production and delivery times.
Can I request a fabric sample?
Yes! We have home textile swatches available for our linens, curtains and drapery collections. Linen samples will include our latest colors.
How should I wash my underwear?
Linen care is simple: you can wash the linen by hand or in the washing machine at low temperatures. The only color that can be washed at temperatures higher than 40 - 50 degrees is Gentle White. Linens can be tumble dried at lower drying temperatures and this process is recommended to relax the linen after the moisture buildup during washing. Similarly, an iron can be used to relax the yarn. We do not recommend using bleach or detergent with optical brighteners, as they tend to weaken the fibers and leave chemical particles impregnated in the linen fabric. For more details on linen care, read our linen care guide.

Is linen stronger than cotton?
Yes, flax is thicker and about 30% stronger than cotton. The reason is that the flax plant, from which flax comes, produces much longer fibers than the cotton plant. The length of the fiber directly contributes to the strength of the thread, which influences the strength and durability of the fabric.
