By Mölle linen atelier tour
As part of Future Textiles during the Circular Economy Week, By Mölle invites you to join an atelier tour where the collection is designed and curtains, linen bedding and homeware are made to order. Martine from Fibershed speaks about the transition toward local, natural textile supply chains. During the tour, textile designer Karlijn Krijger of The Linen Project will introduce the project 1m² flax: from seed to linen. Linen is one of the oldest textiles in the world and is made from the flax plant. You will receive an explanation of the entire process, from sowing the flax seeds to harvesting after 100 days, followed by spinning and weaving into linen textile. Step by step, this centuries-old craft is explained.
Sign up for the tour that suits you best:

Team By Mölle
By Mölle
Mölle is the word for mill in our local dialect. Our atelier is based in Dalfsen in the Dutch countryside, close to the mill where we once started. This is where we design and make all linen bedding, pillows, and curtains to order.
The mill is also our inspiration and you can see it’s wicks in our logo. For centuries mills have been powered by the wind. A renewable source of energy, without a negative impact on the earth.
natural, healthy materials
Your house becomes a home when you feel comfortable and at ease. Natural materials of good quality make a huge difference. Our inspiration comes from Biophilia, which means 'Love of Nature'. Designing the places where we live, work and learn with natural resources to improve your health and happiness.
We spend so much time indoors that the materials around us can have profound effects on how you feel. Natural materials in your home can reduce stress, improve creativity and well-being. Even simple changes in your home can have a positive impact. That's why we work exclusively with high quality, super comfy natural raw materials like pure linens, mohair, undyed organic cotton, and wool. Thoughtfully designed, responsibly crafted in Europe.
circular design
We attach great importance to the reuse of materials. In the Netherlands alone, 210.000 kilotons of textiles are thrown away every year, most of it is burned. We want to change this and are constantly looking for sustainable innovations to move towards a circular world. A few examples.
no waste
We make all linen bedding, cushions and curtains to order in our atelier, and offer it directly to you. Our linen fabric arrives on rolls and nothing is left to waste. We only make what is needed, smaller pieces are used for samples and the smallest remnants are collected to be spun into new yarn.
recycled denim
One of the first designs we developed in 2012 was our recycled denim collection. Old textile fibers are spun into a new, high quality yarn and made into beautiful, soft recycled throws and cushions.
repair service
With our experienced team of seamstresses we offer a repair and remake service. Curtains are reused for new homes, linen sheets become cushions and we repair products where possible. Linen remnants that can’t be used anymore are taken to our recycling partner who uses it to spin new yarns.
eco bed basics
Our duvets and pillows are filled with 100% recycled down and are produced in the Netherlands. This way, valuable natural materials are reused and we show that waste can turn into something beautiful to enjoy for years to come.
