• 100% Linen (China). Dying/Weaving/Finishing in Italy.

Linen is a natural fiber from the flax plant, and is one of the oldest cultivated plant fibers. It has exceptional ability to keep skin cool in warm weather, due to its airflow, wicking, and crisp fibers that stand away from body. Twice as strong as cotton, it becomes softer over time, while maintaining its exceptional durability.

This textile company was founded in 1992, with a focus on innovation.
