What is Linen?

Linen is a Natural, cellulosic fiber made from the stem of the flax plant, one of the oldest plants and oldest textiles in human history.

‘We regard Linen as the best quality fabric becausethe stiffer yarn with natural slubs produces a unique, rich texture which adds dimension to any outfit. The fabric itself is also more lustrous (brighter & slightly silky) and dyes very well.’

• Linen is highly absorbent and dries quickly wicking moisture away from your skin – offering exceptional breathability.
• Constructed out of hollow fibers, linen acts as a natural insulator – keeping you cool in the summer and warm in winter.
• The strong flax fibers also make it extremely durable and more winter ready.
• Linen softens the more it is used and washed and can last decades when cared for correctly.

What is Cotton?

COTTON is a Natural, cellulosic fibre made from the cotton boll (the round, fluffy clumps) which grows on a Cotton plant. These are the most significant properties of Cotton:

• Breathability: Cotton is highly breathable, allowing air to pass through the fabric. This feature makes it comfortable to wear, especially in warm weather
• Softness: Cotton fabric is known for its soft and smooth texture
• Absorbency: Cotton absorbs and retains moisture well
• Durability: Cotton is strong and durable, and unique in the fact it can actually improve with time, maintaining its shape and integrity even with regular wear and washing
