About Modernplum Textiles for Living

We create linens that honor the natural world. Nature's hues, fluidity, organic lines, and tactility make their way into our products through the use of natural materials and sustainable production. Modernplum is a choice that is mindful of resources used, waste made, and the value of artisan sewing versus assembly line production. Our line invites you to reconnect with the simple, and pleasurable acts of daily living. Linen fabric is used for most of our products but we also work with wool and organic cotton. Linen is made from the flax plant which is farmed using less water and soil resources than cotton. It is also free of harsh pesticides that can transfer to your skin.
