Hello, my name is Paula and I'm the one making the clothes. Divided in made to order and ready to ship they are all made in my home atelier in Paris. I'm using white linen that is 100% grown-spun-weaved in France, all dyed and pattern linen is Lithuanian produced by STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
My French Linen House is a shop my mother Dace Grinvalde started in 2017, alongside her other Etsy shop DGstyle she started in 2010 back in Latvia after a long career as a seamstress. Etsy allowed her to fulfil her long awaited dream of her own home in France and financial independence and full creative freedom. Sadly, my mother passed away in the summer of 2020. She was graciously fighting cervical cancer the last 2 years but still working, sewing every single day up until a week of her last days. Her work was her passion, her pride and joy and later her escape.
After coming home to an empty atelier, I decided I can’t give up the hard earned workshop, there was everything in disposition to keep creating and making beautiful clothing. Very spontaneously I changed my career plans and decided to continue what she had started. Now on my own, I continue to make her designs and am expending my own vision of modern linenwear. For me it's important to stay very intentional with the making process. I wish the clothes I make can become the future vintage, cherished and cared for with respect to our surroundings.
My mother keeps inspiring me and bringing me so much strength and motivation to keep going. Her dream of a French linen house came true, the name of the shop was a manifastation. I now see her in every beautiful thing around me and I know she's very happy to see me take on her legacy.
