Why choose Linen?
Linen fabric is a natural material derived from the flax plant and resulting in lightweight but strong clothing.
It combines an elegant look with a pleasantly cool feel. Linen is hardly stretchy, for this reason, clothing made from flax fiber are almost never skin-tight, but instead feels decidedly casual. Linen fabric hasn’t grown out of style because it comes with several advantages:
Natural
it's safe, hypoallergenic and no chemical heavy processes are involved in its production unlike with synthetic fibers
Biodegradable
when untreated, linen is one of the most biodegradable fabrics in the world
Strong
just like the sturdy flax plant that doesn't even require insecticides, linen fabric is exceptionally sturdy and even moth-resistant, but gets softer with every wash
Breathable
linen fabric is actually perfect all year round! It can withstand high temperatures, absorb moisture without gathering bacteria, and will keep you warm in winter
and cool in summer
Is linen a sustainable material?
Yes, linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics for several reasons.
As mentioned before linen is an extremely durable fabric and when untreated or naturally dyed, linen fabric is biodegradable.
The flex plant requires little water, especially when compared to cotton, it’s a fast-growing plant and can thrive in harsh conditions.
