7 September 2023. It's that time again! Just in time for the end of summer and the start of fall, a box arrives at the shop that looks perfectly normal, cardboard and scuffed from travel. But this box is different from all other boxes. It's full of calendar cloths, the once-yearly, limited edition cloths that arrive to our collective bated breath.
While the kitchen cloth is the workhorse of the kitchen, the calendar cloth can live as a casual wall hanging, clipped to a piece of twine or pinned to the wall throughout the year. They offer us a snapshot into the simplicity of day to day life, reminding us to live well and mind the passing of each day. At the end of the year, the calendar cloth can continue to hang on the wall or it can have a Cinderella moment, changing back to a workaday cloth. They make wonderful gifts and you may want to keep one for yourself too.
Each cloth features an artist's unique design that conjures a mood or sentiment to usher in the new year. This year, we welcome the work of artists Isabelle Boinot, a perennial favorite, and Yosuke Omomo, an artist and picture book author based in Tokyo. With illustrations ranging from cats and dogs, everyday objects, food and flowers and some playful street scenes, there's something for everyone.
You can see all of our calendar cloth options here. Right now, all Isabelle Boinot calendar cloths are in stock, and Yosuke Omomo calendar cloths will be arriving shortly. Sign up to be notified by email and you'll be the first to know when they land.
04 August 2023. Fall 2023 clothing is beginning to arrive. We're welcoming fall this year with rich saturated colors and styles that invite layering and pairing. Here are some of our favorites.
Katinka Top: A short cropped shirt with a band collar and buttons down the front, we love pairing this one in Citron with the Ichika skirt in the same color. It also works as a light jacket worn over a tee or tank. In Citron.
Luuk Dress: With a peter pan collar and a bit of smocking at the bodice, this pretty dress is a one-and-done outfit for fall. Lots of room in the body for adding a layer and tights underneath on a cooler day. We love the gathered sleeves, which add a bit of volume and detail. In Rouille.
Julia Over Dress: A great layering piece, this easy cap sleeve dress with a deep v-neck can be worn over blouses, turtlenecks or sweaters. We love it paired with a top in a similar color for a monochromatic outfit, but wearing it with contrasting colors looks great too. We love it in Pain Brule paired with the Nina Blouse in Rouille. In Black and Pain Brule.
Inge Coat Dress: This versatile piece can be worn as a light coat or a dress depending on your mood and the weather. We love it over tights as a dress, or paired over a top and pants as a coat. It's also a fun piece to layer over another dress. We love it in Ochre paired with the Noisette Emma Dress. In Ochre and Carole.
Lieke Top: An elasticized waistband and cuffs give the Lieke top a blousy feel without being too voluminous. A nice top that's casual, but dresses up nicely depending on what you pair it with. In Black and Lilas.
Sem Top: Pleating at the front and back of the neckline gives this a-line top a bit of simple detailing. With a tie at the back, this top can also be worn with the tie at the front if you wish. In Albatre and Lilas.
Levi Pants: A fun pant for fall! Levi is a bloomer pant with an elasticized waist, and a voluminous fit that gathers at the ankle with a wide elasticized cuff. Add your favorite top and you're good to go. In Black, Acier and Pain Brule.

20 June 2023. Eating out of doors in the summer is truly one of life's simple pleasures, and while we're happy eating on the back stoop with paper plates and napkins, sometimes it's fun to dress things up a bit. Lightweight and easy to wash, our linen napkins and tablecloths add a touch of casual elegance to outdoor dining.
We asked our friend, food photographer and stylist, Shilpa Iyer, to create a summer setting for our Josh tablecloth and Anne napkin. We love the short film she created, a dreamy nod to meals in the backyard.
Since this is the season for planning menus based on what's looking good at the nearest farm stand and cooking with intuition rather than following a recipe, we're sharing a few of our favorite no-recipe suggestions with you here. We encourage you to substitute and experiment as you like.
For starters: Fresh mozzarella, ricotta or feta torn into chunks with sliced peaches, watermelon and cherry tomatoes doused with a little olive oil, cider vinegar, flaky salt and fresh ground pepper. With a little fresh chopped basil sprinkled about if you have it.
Potato salad made with new potatoes, boiled until a knife goes easily through, and dressed with a simple mustard vinaigrette and some fresh chopped parsley, red onion, shallots or dill. Maybe some capers or a chopped hard boiled egg if you feel like it.
Thinly sliced kale, swiss chard, or collard greens, center rib and stem removed, then tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add some grated parmesean cheese or some toasted bread crumbs for more flavor and texture if you like.
Easy Mains: Throw your favorite protein on the grill and you have a lovely meal.
Last but not least: For dessert, we'll keep it simple this summer by serving fresh seasonal fruit with whipped cream or a few pints of ice cream and calling it a win. And we'd never turn down a good old ice cream sandwich or a klondike bar...we've delighted guests of all ages with these options.
When you're ready to set your summer table, check out all our tablecloths and napkins for the full selection of colors and patterns.
7 May 2023. Our natural linen products are the foundation of Fog Linen Work. The original line started with a few simply designed pieces in natural linen and stamped with their function. From there, a product line was launched. We recently asked founder, Yumiko Sekine, to say a few words about the story behind the creation of Fog Linen Work. Here's what she said:
Some of my favorite pieces from Fog Linen Work are the products that made up our original collection.
When I visited Lithuania for the first time over 25 years ago, I was a wholesaler of foreign housewares, books and stationery. Knowing Lithuanians produced high quality linen, I was hoping to find products to buy. As there were no trade shows or wholesale showrooms, I walked around the city looking for nice linen products in the stores, so that I could identify the manufacturers. Though I didn’t find what I was looking for there, I found a phone book in my hotel room and searched the word "Linas" (linen in Lithuanian). I called the few companies that were listed, but most didn’t understand English and just hung up. Finally, I managed to talk to one company and asked them to send me their product catalogue and price list. After a few days, I received a few small samples of linen fabric with a note asking what kinds of products I needed. I didn’t have any experience designing items for factory production, but luckily I had a friend who had experience making patterns and sketches for a factory in India. With her help, I made product sketches to send to the factory in Lithuania by fax. Our first collection included the Kitchen Cloths, Napkins, Tablecloths, the Full Apron, the Cafe Apron, the Garcon Apron, and a Tote Bag. We still carry most of them as our standard collection and I still enjoy using them at home.

26 April 2023. When spring rolls around, we're ready to switch up our baking from the cozy spice forward recipes of winter to something light and fresh. Berries and lemon are always a favorite combination, and we can't wait to try this blueberry muffin recipe with lemon and yogurt from Benjamina Ebuehi.
Known for the complex treats she baked on the 2016 season of The Great British Bake Off, Benjamina Ebuehi writes recipes, styles, and creates content for various media outlets. Her recipes are simple, straightforward and easy to tackle in the kitchen. Her latest cookbook, A Good Day To Bake, can be found at our sister store, Pod.
Whenever we cook, we rely on our linen aprons and kitchen cloths to help keep mess to a minimum. With a variety of apron styles to choose from and kitchen cloths in all sorts of colors and patterns, you're sure to find something that suits your style.

1 February 2023. Spring is in the air...somewhere! Spring weather is definitely not here yet, but spring clothing is, and we're inspired by the fresh colors and designs that are bringing a bit of spring into our world. Featuring deep greens, watery aquas and strong blues that contrast nicely with pale neutrals, steely greys and black to create a collection based on simple design, beautiful detailing, and vibrant colors. We love that most of the pieces in this collection can be layered over and under, so that you can start wearing things now when you need a hint of spring the most.
Some favorites this season include:
Ren Dress: A versatile button down dress with many small details, Ren can be worn with the buttons in the front or the back. Gathering across the chest creates drape and volume. In Olive and Pansy
Saku Dress: An updated shirt dress with a pointed collar and buttons to the waist. With lots of room in the body and a fuller skirt, this one's easy for spring. In Lichen and Lavender
Ran Top: Gathering at the neckline, and an easy fit with a burst of color make this one a favorite. In Spring Green and Pale Blue
Mio Top: We love the tie collar, the gathered cuff at the wrist, and the loose fit of the Mio Top. Just plain pretty. In Ivoire and Wisteria
Emma Pants: An elasticized waist, a full leg, and an elasticized cuff give these pants a little volume. Both comfy and fun! In Black, Adriatic Blue and Albatre
Ria Tunic: A great dress for spring, we like it layered over pants or leggings in cooler weather and worn on its own when the days warm up. The pleating around the collar and neckline adds a nice bit of interest, while still in keeping with the simplicity of the cut. In Clair and Black (coming soon)
Waka Jacket: A spring staple. This versatile jacket works with pants or a skirt, hits around the hip and has a bit of elastic at the back hem to create a bit of volume in the silhouette. Details include gathered sleeves, a banded collar and front slash pockets. In Ivoire
