Our linen is 100% French linen. Linen is derived from flax plant, premium grade flax is sourced from France, which is one of the best, high quality linen (flax crop) is mainly from Western Europe. The best climates for flax are France and Belgium. Hence the reason Irish linen, Belgian linen, French linen and Italian linens are renowned for their quality.
Linen is the oldest textile material in the world and is made from natural fibres of the flax plant. With more use linen becomes softer and stronger; it is 2 to 3 times stronger than cotton Its properties make linen not only a luxurious but also an eco-friendly choice.
The natural qualities of flax make linen the perfect non allergenic choice. Considered the most eco-friendly and sustainable fabric as its entirely biodegradable and recyclable. 100% renewable and requires 5 times less fertilisers and pesticides and 5-20 times less water compared to cotton. Amazingly high absorbency rates; thermo/cooling properties that keep you warm in winter, cool in summer and strength for durability.
Polyester filing is used for our inner padding of our quilted linen blankets. The key reasons why we chose polyester fill is that it holds shape better than cotton, more resistant to wrinkling, less shrinkage than cotton, it is a strong and durable fibre. Environmentally cotton vs polyester both go through many production processes that use large amounts of water and energy.
All our linen is pre washed with pumice stones and pre shrunk ensuring your linen is ready to use, you will find linen does get better with each wash, softer and crease less.
