Linen is considered to be the strongest of all natural fibres, and it’s even been found to get stronger with washes.

It’s a natural fibre with a lower environmental impact than cotton. Linen is made from the stalks of flax plants, which are resilient species that can grow in poor soils requiring very little if any fertilizer. The linen production process has been found to be significantly less water intensive than that for cotton, giving it a lower water footprint. 

As linen fibres are hollow they allow more airflow over your body than other materials. They are also highly absorbent, gaining up to 20% of their dry weight in moisture without feeling damp to touch. This makes linen perfect for sunny spells and warm getaways, helping you to keep cool and avoid embarrassing sweat patches!

linen is thought to naturally repel insects like moths, so you’re unlikely to find any unwanted bite marks when taking out your warm weather wardrobe!
