Linen has a cultural history thousands of years old. Flax was grown in Egypt to manufacture linen as long ago as 5000 BC. Linen’s main producing countries today include France, China, Poland and Romania.
The cool, exquisite look
The cool nature of this fabric has its origin in the fibre texture. Linen absorbs moisture, then quickly gives it off again – and this constant evaporation gives the fabric its pleasantly cooling, very skin-friendly properties.
Linen has a characteristic, slightly irregular texture that accentuates its natural sophistication.
The little knots and varying thread thickness are created when the natural fibres are processed. They help to create linen’s superb, elegant appeal, and make it impossible to confuse with any other fabric.
