The Esmée laundry bag
Do you know why we put each of our creations in little laundry bags?
Elisabeth, our founder, received a laundry bag from her mum that she used to spend her weeks at boarding school. Since then, she's carried it with her wherever she goes.
In Bali, where Elisabeth draws her inspiration, it has come into its own. There are no washing machines available, so you have to leave your laundry in the hands of small ‘laundries’, as they say here. These are often local people who wash and iron your clothes for a small fee. That's how we came up with the idea of including a laundry bag with every Esmée creation.
These little laundry bags are versatile. They can also be used to store socks, underwear and much more.
Linen
Taking care of linen is simple, but requires a few precautions to preserve its natural beauty. Here are a few instructions.

To dry your linen creation, hang it in the open air.
