Frequently asked questions

• What makes SCANDALINEN's French Linen different from standard linen bedding?

  SCANDALINEN uses 100% French Linen woven from European Flax — grown in the cool, damp climate of northwestern France where longer, finer flax fibers develop naturally. The fabric is woven at 165–175 GSM, a weight chosen specifically for warm and humid climates: heavy enough to feel substantial, light enough to sleep cool. All fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, independently tested to confirm no harmful chemicals at any stage from field to finished sheet. Every piece is stonewashed before production — which means it arrives already softened and pre-shrunk, with only 2–3% residual shrinkage remaining after use. It is then cut and hand-sewn by skilled artisans in our Hanoi workshop.

• What is the difference between plain-dyed and yarn-dyed linen?

  Both dyeing methods are available in SCANDALINEN's French Linen collection and both meet OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. Piece-dyed linen is dyed after weaving — the color is applied to finished fabric, producing a smooth, uniform surface and a wider range of available shades. Yarn-dyed linen is dyed at the fiber stage, before weaving — color penetrates deeper into each thread, resulting in richer color depth, better fade resistance over time, and a subtle texture variation that piece-dyed fabric doesn't have. For most customers, piece-dyed is the practical choice. For those who want maximum color longevity and a more characterful surface, yarn-dyed is worth the difference.

• Will French Linen shrink after washing?

  A small amount — approximately 2–3% — may occur after the first few washes. Because all SCANDALINEN French Linen is stonewashed and pre-shrunk before production, the bulk of potential shrinkage has already happened before the fabric reaches our cutting table. To keep residual shrinkage minimal: wash at 30–40°C, avoid high-heat drying, and line dry when possible. The dimensions listed on our product pages reflect post-wash sizing.

• Do you offer custom sizing? Is there a minimum order?

  Yes to both questions. SCANDALINEN produces all French Linen bedding to measure — duvet covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and coverlets can all be made to non-standard dimensions. There is no minimum order: a single custom-sized pillowcase is as straightforward to order as a wholesale run. Production lead time is 2–3 weeks for individual orders and 30–45 days for large volume orders. Contact us at scandalinen@gmail.com or WhatsApp +84 936 188 661 with your exact measurements.

• Is French Linen suitable for sensitive skin?

  Yes. Linen fiber is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial without any chemical treatment. Its hollow fiber structure wicks moisture away from skin quickly — reducing the warm, damp microclimate against the skin that allows bacteria and dust mites to thrive. SCANDALINEN's French Linen carries OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, which independently verifies the absence of harmful substances including residual pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. It is appropriate for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or dust mite allergies.
