The Story Read More Read Less
Handwoven French hemp sheets, known as draps de chanvre, dating from the 20th century.
Sourced in Avignon, these sheets originally came from a French château. Each bears initials embroidered in red cross-stitch, a personal detail from their former life.
Woven on traditional narrow looms, each sheet is made from two lengths of hemp cloth joined by a central seam, a characteristic of antique French household linen.
The fabric has a beautiful, substantial texture that softens naturally with washing and use. Each sheet varies slightly in size and shade, from warm ivory to natural white.
Versatile and timeless, they can be used as bedcovers, tablecloths, curtains or repurposed into cushions.
Three available, sold individually.
