Mölle is the word for windmill in our local dialect. The By Mölle studio is located in Dalfsen, near the mill in Hoonhorst where we once started. Here we design the collection and make all linen bedding, pillows and curtains to order. You are also very welcome here for personal advice. To relax and experience our collection, we would like to invite you to stay for a few days in our cozy eco lodges in the Vechtdal in Overijssel. Sleep well under By Mölle linen, enjoy nature and experience what natural materials do to you.

Buitenplaats de Horte is one of the most beautiful spots in Vechtdal Overijssel. Between the century-old trees you will find 't Witte Huis, a historical house from the early 19th century.

At Buitenplaats de Horte there are two walking routes (5 and 7 km) that lead you through the surrounding forest.

In recent years they have become proficient in making a wide range of products from their own country, varying from apple cider to pâté, from dry sausage to quince jelly, from pork belly to dried mushrooms and from sauerkraut to home-smoked fish. You can also occasionally cook.

Coen Jansen's small-scale nursery garden is a unique address. You will find perennials that look as if they have been taken straight from nature.

Maartje draws inspiration from nature for her collection.

Eef Stel in Dalfsen is the fourth generation horticulturist. Twenty years ago he started growing in a natural way without pesticides and fertilizers. “Vital vegetables of top quality”, he calls his products.

Top chef Jonnie Boer of De Librije is one of his biggest customers, but you can also do your shopping directly in his own shop. Can't be fresher.
