Europe's most noble fibre.
Linen is not a trend. It's an ancestral fibre, grown in Western Europe, with unique properties that make it the choice of the continent's finest textile houses.
From Linum usitatissimum to finished fabric.
Linen is obtained from the stem of Linum usitatissimum, an annual plant grown in Europe for millennia. Every spring its blue flowers cover the fields of northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands — the largest producing region in the world. Unlike short fibres such as cotton, flax fibre is long and strong, and requires specific processes — retting, scutching, fine spinning — that only a handful of European manufactures master.
Six reasons to choose linen.
Durability
One of the strongest natural fibres. A good linen fabric can last generations.
Comfort
Soft, with natural drape and a characteristic texture that improves with use.
Breathability
Regulates humidity and body temperature better than almost any other fibre.
Elegance
Living texture and noble creasing; a cultured, contemporary material.
Sustainability
Grown without artificial irrigation, biodegradable and low impact.
Traceability
Produced in Western Europe under demanding agricultural standards.
80% of the world's textile linen is grown in Europe.
A unique agricultural belt stretching from northern France to the Netherlands, via Belgium. An ecosystem where climate, soil and know-how converge like nowhere else on the planet.
Knowledge accumulated, fabric by fabric.
We work linen across its full range: from lightweight shirtings to heavy upholstery. We control fibre selection, twist, construction and finishes to obtain the exact character each application demands.
