What is Linen?

Derived from the flax 🌾 plant's fibres, Linen exhibits remarkable strength, absorbency & quick-drying properties. This fabric is exceptionally suitable for hot ☀️ & humid climates as it is very breathable & can absorb approximately 20% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet. Consequently, linen has gained popularity in tropical regions. 🏝️


Linen is known for its easy maintenance as its fibres do not stretch & are highly resistant to abrasion. It possesses low lint & pilling tendencies. Linen can be machine washed, dry cleaned & steamed. Although linen may initially feel slightly rough, it gradually becomes softer with each wash. 🚿


Linen is considered a "luxury" 💎 fabric due to its production costs. However, its exceptional durability & longevity make it cost-effective over its extended lifespan. Apart from clothing, linen is use extensively various home goods, including tablecloths, sheets, towels, upholstery & more.


A potential limitation of linen is its tendency to wrinkle easily, which may result in more frequent ironing for certain garments. However, if you prioritise staying cool 😎 during the summer & don't mind the occasional use of an iron (or embrace a slightly rumpled appearance), linen can be a worthwhile choice to consider.
