What Linen Studio Kaunas is known for
LinenSheep is the label of Daiva Tamosaitiene, who works from Kaunas with her son Augustinas and her daughter Lauryna as partners. She began sewing eighteen years ago and created the brand in 2012. The studio works in linen and wool, sourced from Lithuania and Italy, treated to hold colour and shape after washing. Dresses, shirts, trousers, knitwear, bags fill out the whole range.
Daiva Tamosaitiene began making clothes eighteen years ago, and the first of them was a linen dress and hat for her two-year-old daughter Lauryna, entered in a magazine competition for parents who design children's clothing. Garments for family and friends followed, then a first collection for the fashion theatre her daughter attended. The brand itself was created in 2012 and carries the name LinenSheep. It is run from Kaunas as a family business. Her son Augustinas and her daughter Lauryna are now her business partners, and she notes that their interest runs to fabric and technique as much as to fashion. The material is the fixed point. LinenSheep works in linen and wool, sourced from Lithuania and from Italy, and treats the cloth so that colour and shape hold after washing. The range covers linen dresses, shirts, blouses, trousers, shorts, jackets, skirts for summer, plus knitted dresses, velvet dresses, sweaters, vests, scarves, head scarves for cold weather. Bags are made too. Orders have gone to Scandinavia, Japan and the United States, and invitations to present the work have come from outside Lithuania as well as inside it. The company trades as MB LINEN LT from Jablonskio street in Kaunas. Design of every piece stays with Tamosaitiene herself in Kaunas.
