What are linen fabrics?
A natural textile with ancestral origins
Unlike the origin of jeans , which is closely linked to the industrial world and manual labor of the 19th century, that of linen fabric dates back to Antiquity. Derived from the stems of the flax plant, linen is a textile fiber of plant origin . Ecological by nature, it requires little water and no pesticides for its cultivation, which makes it a particularly environmentally friendly material.
Its natural cellulose composition (like paper) gives it unique properties:
- High wear resistance
- Soft and cool touch
- Excellent absorption capacity
- Chic natural wrinkled look
Oeko Tex certified, our linen is guaranteed to be free from substances harmful to the skin and the environment.
A carefully woven material
Linen fabric is usually woven from 100% natural fibers, but it can also be blended with synthetic fibers , such as elastane, to provide additional flexibility and stretch depending on the end use.
