Linen Love
Luxurious, buttery soft and breathable, linen is one of our favourite fabrics. Crafted from a responsive flax fibre, linen bedding and clothing feels cool to the touch during the warmer months and warm during the cooler months.
Read on to discover more about linen, our Loft collection and fall in love with the relaxed beauty and softness of pure linen.
Linen 101 – what is linen fabric?
Linen is a soft and sustainable fabric used to make clothing, bedding and homeware. Linen fabric is made from the cellulose fibres that grow inside the leaves of the flax plant. The whole plant is used in the linen making process, creating minimal wastage during production. Flax plants need little water compared to cotton plants. Linen fabric is completely biodegradable and is strong and durable due to the structure of the flax linen fibres.
Our Loft Linen collection is both European flax and OEKO-TEX certified. European Flax® certification is the guarantee of traceability for premium linen fibre grown in Europe. A natural and sustainable fibre, cultivated without artificial irrigation and GMO free. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Certification ensures manufacturers have adhered to environmentally friendly production methods. Products have been tested and proven free of harmful levels of toxic substances.
