about us
Hi there, I’m Margaret, owner of the Linen & Poppies store, and I’m so excited to share my new adventure with you!
At Linen & Poppies, we’re dedicated to bringing the timeless elegance of European linen to Australia.
Linen, crafted from natural flax, is one of the world’s most luxurious and unique materials. It’s biodegradable, gentle on the skin, incredibly durable, and sustainably sourced—making it an eco-friendly choice for those who care about both, quality and the environment.
Our carefully curated collection features high-quality linen clothing for women, all made in Europe, stylish home décor such as bed linen and linen tablecloths, handmade ceramics, and beautifully crafted Polish crocheted table runners. We also offer cozy woollen blankets and other exquisite items made from natural materials. Each piece is thoughtfully selected to bring warmth, charm, and a touch of luxury to your home – perfect as gifts for any occasion.
For me, it's not just about offering beautiful products; it's about ensuring that every item is created with love, fairness, and respect for the planet. I'm proud to offer pieces as kind to the earth as they are to you and your home. I can’t wait for you to experience the beauty of linen in your life. Thank you for supporting a small business that values quality, craftsmanship, and mindful living.
This is where style meets nature
Linen Facts
Natural flax is one of the most noble and unique materials. It is completely natural, biodegradable and skin-friendly. It is resilient and strong. Linen is timeless.
Flax is thermoregulating and hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture well and dries very quickly. The fabric is airy, light, antibacterial, antistatic, and hypoallergenic. It makes the ideal material for clothing and bedding. Research shows that sleeping in linen bedding improves the quality of rest.
The cultivation and processing of flax is a complex, timely and expensive. Linen products will be additions in your life that will last you for years.
Linen lingerie, clothing, and linen bedding have been used with us for centuries. It was once known as the "silk of the North". Now, in the era of modern technology, fast fashion, and vast materials, linen continues to shine/inspire. In the era of modern and improved materials, we still eagerly return to this natural fabric, appreciating it for its exceptional properties.
Linen, in its simplicity, does not need additional decorations or flair. Its beautiful, delicate creases will effortlessly complement anyone's personality, style, and home.
