Linen

Linen fabric is a natural cloth made from flax fibre, one of humankind's oldest textiles: dyed wild flax fibres from a cave in the Caucasus (modern Georgia) are over 30,000 years old, and linen fabrics were known in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. In Ukraine flax was long, alongside hemp, the foundation of home weaving: from it people wove cloth for shirts, towels and bedding. Linen's chief virtues are its exceptional ability to breathe, absorb moisture and give coolness, which is why it is the ideal fabric for the hot season. Linen cloth is strong, hygienic, naturally antibacterial and ecological, and over time only grows softer. Its recognisable character is a noble matte finish, a natural texture and a tendency to crease, which today is valued as a mark of naturalness. Linen suits relaxed, resort and eco style. It is a symbol of natural simplicity, purity and a timeless, 'breathing' elegance.
