Since 2017
Hush began with one question: why do new sheets feel so stiff? We wanted linen that felt lived-in from the first night.

Hush began in 2017 when Nell, a textile designer, and Tom, a joiner, could not find linen sheets that felt lived-in from the first night. Everything on the shelf was crisp, starched and stiff.
They found a family mill near Guimaraes in northern Portugal that weaves European flax on wide looms, and asked it to stone-wash every piece before it left. Today the mill weaves Hush's linen, percale and sateen, and a sister mill weaves the organic cotton towels.
Guimaraes, Portugal
The mill has woven linen for four generations. Flax grown in northern France and Belgium arrives as yarn, is spun fine, then woven slowly on wide looms so the cloth stays even and strong.
Before anything leaves, every piece is washed with pumice stones until the fibres relax. A sister mill nearby weaves the organic cotton towels and bath mats to the same standard.
Linen, cotton, wool and silk, and nothing synthetic next to your skin.
Every piece is washed at the mill before it is folded and packed.
Recycled tissue, paper tape and card boxes, on every order.
Every order is checked, folded and wrapped by hand in the Bristol studio. Add a gift note and we write it onto a card that travels in the parcel.
