For the love of craft and tradition Few things made in Sweden come from as strong a legacy as the linen from Växbo Lin. Situated in the picturesque province of Hälsingland in central Sweden, Växbo has a history of providing the finest linen fabric imaginable. Today, the people behind Växbo Lin stay determined to continue on the path that was started so long ago. By Astrid Eriksson | Press Photos
All products from Växbo Lin are eco-friendly and locally produced. Everything is made and designed in the factory where Bruce and her team work hard with producing the materials and turning them into the fantastically popular products Växbo Lin are known for today. Hand and bath towels, classic table cloths and other products made for everyday use, all from the finest of materials and all made with the love and care that comes from knowing that you’re maintaining a little bit of local and cultural history.
The popularity of Växbo Lin is growing year by year. Almost half of the production is exported internationally and even younger generations are discovering the charm of the traditional craftsmanship and fabric. And as if the lush products weren’t enough, Växbo Lin welcomes nearly 80,000 curious visitors every summer. “We love that people are taking an interest in the production as well as the products,” Bruce says happily. “Overall I think people appreciate traditional handcraft more than big mass productions, and at Växbo Lin we are all about the creative art of the trade and our rich heritage and legacy.”

“We warp, we weave, we stitch, we sew and package all of our products right here in Växbo,” says owner Hanna Bruce. “That way we make sure that our legacy of linen crafting will stay strong and maintained in the future just as it has in the past.”
