Why we love linen

Light. Airy. Effortlessly elegant. To be honest, it’s hard not to love it!
 1.

Easy to care for

One of the best things about our linen-blend is that it gets even softer over time. It’s beautifully low maintenance, meaning you can machine wash it on a cool cycle and even tumble dry it...although we love it in summer so like to let it dry naturally too. We also secretly think that it looks even lovelier when it’s a little bit crumpled, so that’s less time spent ironing and more time soaking up the sun!

Loveliness that lasts

Our linen styles are so effortlessly stylish and easy to wear that you’ll want to wear them all summer long...and lucky for you, you can because linen is one of the the most durable fabrics around! Linen is one of the world’s strongest natural fibres - two to three times stronger than cotton even! - so you can rely on it for seasons to come.

A year-round favourite

OK, we know you might be thinking - how can the same fabric keep me cool AND cosy? Well, linen is just one of those fabrics with an almost magical quality. Lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking, it really comes into its own in warm weather but we’re also seeing more people turn to it for easy layering when it’s a little bit cooler.

Wear it with anything

Linen has an effortlessly laidback look that somehow still looks elegant and put-together however you wear it. We love that it looks just as lovely on its own for simple everyday style as it does with a whole host of accessories, from straw hats, espadrilles and canvas totes in summer to an oversized knit or leather jacket when the weather turns.
 5.

Anyone can wear it

Linen looks good on everyone; it’s as simple as that. It’s soft and floaty for an air of effortless femininity that will flatter any woman’s figure, and it’s cool and sophisticated for a classic look that looks smart on any style-conscious gents. It’s also skin-kind and soft, so feels as good as it looks all day long.
