Linen, a key component in most interior design choices and easthetics. A textile made from the fibers of the flax plant; Linen holds an abundance of benefits and positive attributes as a textile choice for your home, one of the many reasons that linen is present in a plethora of interior qualities. Here are a few of our favourite…

 

1. Made using the finest materials

 

The finest linen comes from the flax fields of Flanders and Northern France, where the rich soil and Atlantic climate create the best growing conditions.

 

 

2. Produced by master craftsmen

 

We have always only ever worked with the best master weavers who, using this locally spun fibre, weave the world’s best linen.

 

 

3. Sustainability

 

European flax in ones of the most sustainable raw materials in the world, requiring no additional irrigation beyond natural rainfall, and minimal use of pesticides and fertilisers.

 

 

4. Naturally, beautifully uneven

 

Slubs (small, soft, irregular lumps) are considered as part of the aesthetic appeal of linen and do not compromise the integrity of the fabric on the window.

 

 

5. Anti-bacterial

 

Pathogen-resistant thanks to its inherent wicking and moisture-retention properties, linen can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in water without feeling wet.

 

 

6. Easy to take care of

 

Linen can be up to three times stronger than cotton; it resists dirt and stains and has no lint or piling tendency.
