ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Kate, the founder behind VANLINNEN. I started the brand in 2020 while renovating my home in Amsterdam. I was searching for curtains that would soften the space, filter the light beautifully, and feel natural, without the plastic shine and heavy look of synthetic fabrics. When I couldn’t find the right balance of quality, simplicity, and natural texture locally, I decided to create it myself.

That’s how VANLINNEN became a brand focused on 100% linen curtains made from European flax linen. Linen has a calm, lived-in elegance that instantly makes a room feel warmer and more “finished”. It drapes softly, adds texture without effort, and works with both minimal and cosy interiors. The best part is how linen changes over time: it becomes even softer while staying strong, so your curtains keep their beauty for years.

Linen is also a material you can feel good about. It’s made from the flax plant, and pure linen is biodegradable when it isn’t blended with synthetics. Because linen is naturally breathable, it helps create a comfortable home environment, especially in spaces where you want fresh air, gentle light, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Today, VANLINNEN works with interior designers in the Netherlands and across Europe to create timeless window styling for Modern Japandi, Wabi Sabi, and Nordic interior design -styles that celebrate natural materials, soft textures, and a connection to nature. Linen curtains are at the heart of that look: simple, elegant, and quietly luxurious.

All VANLINNEN curtains are handcrafted in a small European atelier. Also, tailored to your measurements, so you get the perfect fit for your windows and your home. We support mindful consumption by producing what you truly need, without unnecessary overstock, and we ship as efficiently as possible, prioritising land transport whenever we can.
