Flax plant is an annual herb that will catch your eye at first glance with its pale blue, pink, purple or white colour. In addition to oil, it has also been giving mankind clothing since ancient Egypt. Although for a long time linen was considered a material for poor people, today it is part of the collections of world-famous exclusive brands and its popularity is still growing.

The uniqueness of linen fabric

The Latin name of flax plant, Linum usitatissimum, tells us a lot. "Linum" comes from the Celtic word "lin" or thread, and the word usitatiss means the most useful. This plant rightly bears its name, as the canvas made of it has a number of positive properties. On hot summer days, it cools us down and absorbs moisture perfectly. In addition, linen canvas is also hypoallergenic and antiseptic (resistant to mold and fungus). It looks noble and modern and boasts a long shelf life. So you don't have to worry about compromises when choosing an advanced and high-quality material for clothing products that is also environmentally friendly.
