Linen possesses unique and special qualities. It is a hollow fibre made from flax, that is breathable and absorbent, so it keeps you dry and cool in summer and also warm in the winter. It can absorb 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling wet, it is also anti static and has a natural ph balance, making it amazing and healthy to wear- especially if you are a sensitive soul.
Our linen is pure, 100% raw linen, which means it has not been chemically treated or blended with other fibres, it is durable and due to its processes, it is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
It is made from a resilient fibre, that can grow in poor soils, requiring very little to no fertiliser, it also requires minimal water to thrive, thus giving it a lower water footprint. Almost all of the flax plant is used too, so there is very little waste.
Linen is luxurious. The flax plants must be pulled from the ground to maintain the full length of the fibres, the plants are then left to soften so the fibres are easy to separate. After this process the fibres are collected, rolled and stored for three months for further softening. When they are soft enough they are then twisted and processed with a spinning technique. This lengthy, careful process is why linen is considered one of the most luxurious, earthy fabrics.
Not only does linen look and feel amazing, it represents something much bigger. So let’s wear it- everyday.
