french raw linen tote bag - shopping bag

The story of Maison Masarin begins with Michèle Masarin, who created Comptoir des Teintures in 2012. Passionate about linens and colors, she collects and gathers pieces made of hemp, linen, cotton, or mixed fibers, which she transforms and dyes with her own color blends to give them a second life. She was a pioneer in upcycling, which has now become an environmental priority. Maison Masarin was born from this passion passed down through generations for raw materials and their nuances of colors. Their universe draws inspiration from both their family home, rich in Mediterranean influences, and the everyday needs.

The raw linen tote bag is made of naturally embossed French linen. Its texture obtained by simple washing gives it both softness and roughness, specific to this fiber. Its edges are slightly fringed to appreciate the natural aspect of this material. 

Linen is an eco-responsible material, because its entire fiber is used, it is irrigated at 99% by rainwater and its age on French soil allows it to be grown without GMOs. It is also one of the natural thermoregulatory materials: it is hot in winter and cool in summer. The tote bag can be used daily as a running bag or as a sports bag.

care: machine washable at 30°C with possibility to tumble dry for more softness. You if wish to not iron, that's ok because it maintains its texture
