Mother and daughter team Anne and Hannah, pictured above, launched Major Minor Sydney in 2013 with a burst of colour and a flexible approach – their entire range is sold separately so mixing and matching is easy and you can build a collection over time. We asked the pair to share the things they love about linen.
What do you love most about linen?
Linen is a game changer! As well as its eco-friendly properties, it works to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, and it absorbs colour really well, which allows us to be creative with our range.
What makes linen perfect for kids?
We have chosen to produce our linen with no harsh chemicals, bleaches or dyes, so it's suitable for babies, children, parents and grandparents! It's easy to care for, it's a natural fibre and it's super soft, plus our collection includes beautiful bright colours kids love.
Where do you source your linen?
Major Minor linen is 100% Belgian flax. We design our range in Sydney, then source our raw linen from Belgium and we work with our team in India to come up with our finished product.
What advice can you give on caring for linen?
Our linen doesn't get special treatment; it's part of the family. It's easy to wash and you don't need to iron, perfect!
What does soft washing mean, and why do you do it?
Our linen is washed during the production process, a simple technique that softens the fabric texture and increases its absorbency, giving it a lived-in appearance. It gives our products a unique soft, aged feel that we just love.
To iron or not to iron?
We prefer a lived-in linen look. We both lead busy lives, so we definitely don't iron our linen!
One colour, or mix and match?
Everything in our range is sold separately to allow mix and match, or just one colour. We love our classic, neutrals but also our bright pops of colour.
Favourite colour combo in the range?
Hannah's favourite for this summer: Khaki Kick with White Euros and Gold Metallic Wash pillowcases. Anne's favourite for this summer: Strike Grey and Lime Rush.
