Quality and Sustainability Hand in Hand
For Terrible Twins, quality equals respect – respect for raw materials, people, and the planet. They fell in love with linen early on, a natural material that’s not only beautiful but also durable and living, getting better with time. Linen requires less water and fewer chemicals during manufacturing, making it a trusted choice. In 2023, they embraced recycled cotton, initially hesitant but quickly convinced by its softness, beauty, and eco-friendly production process.
Thinking Circular: Giving Fabrics a Second Life
One of the coolest things about Terrible Twins is their circular thinking. Their fabric producer recycles textile waste from other industries, turning what would be waste into new, high-quality fabric. Plus, their collaboration with Green Hotel in Tällberg gave them the chance to repurpose old linen curtains into a new collection of wheat warmers. It might seem small, but in an industry where up to 80% of climate impact happens during manufacturing, reusing materials makes a huge difference.
Products Designed for a Natural Lifestyle
Terrible Twins offers more than just wheat warmers. Their collections include lavender hearts sewn in pure linen and filled with KRAV-certified wheat and lavender, plus reusable coffee filters available in three sizes. These products fit perfectly into a natural lifestyle, emphasizing sustainability and comfort without compromising on style or function.

Why B Corp Certification Matters
Being a B Corp isn’t just a badge for Terrible Twins – it’s a commitment. Certified in 2021 as one of Sweden’s first, this status means their entire operation is scrutinized against some of the world’s toughest social and environmental standards. It’s about responsibility at every level: how employees are treated, materials chosen, community impact, and transparency. This certification isn’t a one-time thing either; it requires continuous improvement and recertification every three years. For customers, it’s a concrete sign that this company walks the talk, not just good intentions.
