There are fabrics that come and go, and then there is linen: timeless, functional and more current than ever .
It was used over 6,000 years ago in ancient Egypt to make clothing, bandages, and linen. Today, it remains one of the most valued materials in the world of sustainable fashion. The reason? It combines the best of both the traditional and the modern: freshness, durability, low environmental impact, and a natural aesthetic that never goes out of style.
In times of unstable temperatures and the search for comfortable and sustainable clothing, linen once again proves why it is the true king of summer.
What makes linen so special?
Unlike many synthetic and processed fabrics, linen offers unique properties that benefit both the body and the planet :
1. Natural breathability
At a microscopic level, linen fibers are hollow , allowing air to circulate freely between the garment and the skin. This makes it a perfect fabric for hot, humid, or changeable climates.
2. Intelligent humidity management
Linen has an incredible ability to absorb and release moisture without retaining it. What does that mean? Even if you sweat, the garment won't stick to you or smell bad. It dries quickly, keeps its shape, and helps you feel fresh and free all day long.
3. Hygiene and natural resistance
It's a fabric that's naturally resistant to bacteria and fungi, which prevents odors and reduces the need for frequent washing. This not only extends the life of your garments but also reduces water and energy consumption .
4. Low environmental impact
Flax cultivation requires up to 90% less water than conventional cotton and grows easily without the need for harsh fertilizers or pesticides.
Furthermore, all parts of the flax plant can be used, making it a highly efficient crop with very little waste .
