Why buyers choose Linen Tales
Buying linen wholesale is about more than price per piece. Here is what you get when you buy from us.
Certified linen you can sell with confidence
Our fabric is tested to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (certificate 2017OK0319 AITEX) and made from European Flax™ certified fibre (BVFR10502602): flax grown without irrigation or GMOs, traceable at every processing step.
Made by hand in Lithuania
Every product is sewn by artisans in Lithuania, where linen-making is a long tradition. We started in our own home, in a 16th-century building, and grew into a brand with customers all over the world.
Soft from the first use
All finished Linen Tales products are stonewashed, so your customers get relaxed, supple linen straight out of the parcel and it keeps getting softer with each wash.
A palette that lasts
Colours and prints are designed to carry across seasons, so you can mix pieces and reorder favourites. As with all natural linen, shades can vary slightly between dye lots.
Small minimums, less waste
Each product has its own minimum quantity so we never cut fabric we cannot use. After your €300 opening order, there is no minimum on reorders.
Fast turnaround and US duties covered
Made-to-order pieces take about 10 business days. US orders ship DDP, so we pay the import duties and your landed cost is clear.

Wholesale linen for hotels, restaurants and cafés
Linen is one of the strongest natural fibres and it breathes well, which makes it a good fit for guest rooms, spas and dining tables. For hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and cafés we supply:
- Linen bed linen: duvet covers, fitted and flat sheets, pillowcases
- Bath linen: waffle towels, bath sheets and bathrobes
- Table linen: tablecloths, napkins, runners and placemats in custom sizes
- Staff and kitchen textiles: linen aprons and kitchen towels
Need tablecloths cut to your exact tables, or one colour across several venues? Your account manager will quote custom sizes and confirm lead times before production starts. For care, we recommend washing at 40°C (100°F); see our linen care guide.
Wholesale linen fabric
Trade customers can also buy linen fabric for their own production: plain weaves, twill, muslin, stripes and prints in weights from 85 to 310 g/m², supplied unwashed so you can finish it your way. Availability varies by weight and colour. Order fabric samples first to check handle, drape and colour. The guide below shows what each weight is typically used for.
- 85 g/m²MuslinScarves, sheer curtains, linings, wraps
- 115–150 g/m²LightShirts, blouses, dresses, sleepwear
- 160–185 g/m²MediumBedding, napkins, tablecloths, trousers
- 215–245 g/m²HeavyAprons, cushion covers, curtains, bags

Typical uses are a starting point. Ask us if you are unsure which weight suits your product.
What to check before choosing a wholesale linen supplier
Whichever supplier you pick, these questions protect your margin and your reputation. Here is how we answer them.
| Question to ask | Why it matters | At Linen Tales |
|---|---|---|
| Where does the flax come from? | "Linen" is often used loosely, and fibre origin affects quality and your sustainability claims. | European Flax™ certified fibre, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 tested fabric. |
| What does the fabric weigh? | Weight decides drape, opacity and how long a product lasts. | 85–310 g/m², with weights listed in the trade portal. |
| Is it prewashed? | Unwashed linen feels stiff and can change after the first wash. | Finished products are stonewashed for softness. Fabric is supplied unwashed for your own finishing. |
| What are the minimums? | High minimums tie up cash and shelf space. | €300 opening order, no minimum on reorders. |
| How long is production? | Seasonal products have to arrive on time. | About 10 business days for made-to-order; core kitchen and bath items usually in stock. |
| Who pays import duties? | Duties change your real landed cost. | US orders ship duty paid (DDP). Elsewhere, local duties may apply. |
| Can I reorder the same colour? | Customers expect to complete a set later. | Colours stay in the range across seasons; natural dye-lot variation is possible. |
