Materials Guide: Summer Textiles

Elysian Collective's summer textiles are meticulously sourced to ensure the highest quality.



Our connection to the outdoors is a spiritual one; its comforting aura is felt while observing it, feeling it, and being enfolded in it. Nature elevates our corporeal and visceral senses, and bringing elements of it into our world indoors encapsulates that serenity.  


Elysian Collective's sustainable summer textiles enhance your senses as you interact with them. A lightweight linen blanket envelops you in a sense of ease while assuring breathability, and an earthy cotton pillow texture provides a grounding, gentle graze across the skin. At Elysian Collective, we consciously procure textiles of the most exclusive quality that makes your world all the more plush and comforting.  



Comfortable Airy Cotton

To experience the soft touch of a refined cotton is both soothing and stimulating. We often associate cotton as the most optimal material for clothing during the hotter months, but it is also vital for interior spaces. From hand towels to pillow covers, having cotton present in the home brings the coziness of the colder months without the trapping nature of it.

Sourcing cotton leads Elysian Collective to three cultures with the most masterful modes of creation and rich handwoven history: Mexico, Spain, and Turkey. Mexico’s history in textile creation dates back centuries to 1400 BCE, with pedal loom weaving being a prominent practice in indigenous communities. 

Our 100% cotton towels from Mexico – the ZicatelaFelipa, and Zipolite –  are seamlessly woven with this ancient method, providing an idealized form and airy feel against the skin.  

Turkey’s expertise in cotton weaving is also unparalleled. Handmade on looms for centuries, Turkish cotton manifests itself in public and private spaces – from bathhouse towels to parlor throws. The sensation of Turkish cotton is a premium one; the luxuriously soft and absorbent fibers are cushiony, comforting, gentle, and do not compromise on both feel and lightness. The stylishly modern Lydia, Sinope and Sumer towels are versatile in that they can also be used as a blanket or throw, whether laid upon beach sands or draped over your sofa.  



Lightweight Natural Linen

Linens are the perfect material to wrap yourself in while maintaining a free feeling on the skin necessary to stay cool. European linen, made from fine flax found in Western Europe, is the most natural and ideal form of the textile. Made from the best quality raw materials, its high breakage point makes it durable and long-lasting for many years. Modern and sensual, the Abans Linen Throw and Sempre Linen Throw Pillows are both handmade with 100% European linen. Our linens are also 100% “Masters of Linen” certified, classifying them as the highest grade of quality, expertise and sustainability.
