Hand-embroidered linen cap-bonnet from Jorvik

Product information

A linen bonnet is a practical and versatile accessory. It protects hair while working, shields from the sun, and emphasizes modesty. In many cultures, it was also a status symbol for married women. It is based on a find from the site of Jorvik in England, a Viking settlement center in the British Isles. The original bonnet was made of silk.

The bonnet is adorned with simple, handmade embroidery, which takes about an hour to complete.

The product is machine-sewn in our workshop in Otwock, Poland. Each piece is made to order.

Size & length

• One size fits all.

Fabric & color

• The product is made of pure, 100% linen with an average weight of 185–220 g/m² – it is not transparent and keeps its shape.
• The material is pre-washed, softened and wash-resistant, so the product will last for years.
• High-quality confirmed by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate. The linen comes from Belarusian crops.
• Colors may vary slightly due to supplier fabric rotation, lighting conditions and screen settings.

• Wash on a delicate cycle at 40°C – colored clothes, 60°C – white or natural clothes.
• Do not use bleach or stain removers!
• No high-speed spin (damages seams and fibers).

• To maintain the appearance, it is best to iron clothes with damp water, inside out, up to 150C (two dots).
