The Hidden Origins of Linen

From Flax Fields to Timeless Fabric

More than 6,000 years ago, people discovered that the flax plant held a hidden secret—its fibres could be spun into light, breathable fabric. In ancient Egypt, linen became a prized textile, traded along the Nile and worn by pharaohs and priests for its cool, elegant feel.

Stronger than cotton and naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and moisture-wicking, linen was perfect for hot climates. Even better, it’s one of the most sustainable textiles, needing less water and fewer pesticides than other fibres.

And its wonders don’t stop at fabric—flax seeds, rich in omega-3s, have been used for centuries to support digestion and heart health.

With its distinctive wrinkles and timeless charm, linen proves that nature’s simplest materials can become the most extraordinary.
