Why Linen
-
Linen is luxurious, highly absorbent, quick-drying, and one of the easiest fabrics to care for.
- Linen is also remarkable durable. Its long, smooth fibers are naturally lint-free, resistant to pilling, dirt, and stains, and can withstand high temperatures.
- Unlike fabrics that lose their shape and quality with use, linen becomes softer the more it is washed, and more attractive with age.
-
Most importantly, linen is inherently eco-friendly. The short growing cycle of flax – the plant from which linen is made – means it is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used to produce linen, ensuring zero waste.
