lindo lino means "beautiful linen"
and that is just what a British company of the same name, Lindolino, sells - beautiful, luxurious, high quality, machine washable bed 100 per cent linen in simple classic designs. Made in Italy by traditional methods, it is warm and insulating in winter, cool in summer and more durable (by at least two times) than cotton.

Suzannah in Bath is a little vintage haven - you'd probably walk straight past it because it is so small, but once you're inside it's a totally different story. Stuffed with cushions, baskets, vintage fabrics, French furniture, dolls, eiderdowns, linen and lace you could spend hours 'routelling' around here. A real treasure trove.
