Linen is a great high-quality fabric for a variety of reasons: natural, absorbent, breathable and strong. It even has antibacterial properties and is hypoallergenic.

Linen has natural heat and moisture-absorbing properties because of its porous nature, which make it a good conductor of warmth and a popular fabric to use for clothing or bedding.

The fabric is known for its smoothness, comfort and silky look. Linen gets softer and more beautiful with age while maintaining its shape.

Linen fabric is available in a variety of colours, as the nature of the fibres mean they hold dye better than some other materials.
