“We regard Linen as the best quality fabric because…” [read more]
“The stiffer yarn with natural slubs produces a unique, rich texture which adds dimension to any outfit. The fabric itself is also more lustrous (brighter & slightly silky) and dyes very well. It is famous for its antibacterial properties.”
Linen is highly absorbent and dries quickly wicking moisture away from your skin – offering exceptional breathability.
Constructed out of hollow fibers, linen acts as a natural insulator – keeping you cool in the summer and warm in winter.
The strong flax fibers also make it extremely durable and more winter ready.
Linen softens the more it is used and washed and can last decades when cared for correctly.
What is Viscose? [read more]
Viscose Fabric is made from artificial silk and not classified as either entirely synthetic or entirely natural since it is made from highly processed plant materials.

‘Viscose is a great option if you are looking for a lightweight material with a nice drape, a lustrous finish, and a soft feel that is easy to dye. We love it because it conveys luxury at a slightly lower price point.’
As a plant-based fibre, Viscose is not inherently toxic or polluting. Unlike polyester, Viscose is highly absorbent & highly breathable – ideal for cool summer dresses & high-quality jerseys where breathability is essential for ease. Viscose also prevents sweat marks on your shirt by absorbing it into tiny micropores in the fibres themselves – locking it away.
How to care for my Linen Viscose garment? [read more]
‘Most Linen Viscose products are machine washable at no more than 20C and because Linen Viscose is so quick to dry there’s usually no need to tumble dry. We recommend hanging the product straight from the machine, stretching it back into position and leaving it to finish. No need for ironing as creases and wrinkles is part of the character of linen.’
Does Linen Viscose shrink? [read more]
‘Linen Viscose tends to shrink. It is a natural fabric – you should expect your Linen Viscose garment to shrink a bit after the first wash.’
Why are Linen Viscose clothing more expensive? [read more]
‘Linen is expensive because harvesting Linen and turning it into fiber is a much longer and more difficult process than with other fabrics. Unlike other plants, the flax plant cannot be mowed, but must be pulled up by the roots.
Furthermore, the inelasticity of the strong flax fiber causes it to break easily in the production process pushing production costs up.’
‘Viscose is also no longer a cheap fabric as it is imported & subject to large duties, so clothes made from it can sometimes cost more than linen or cotton.’
