Linen is a natural fabric made from the fibres of the flax plant. It has a whole heap of benefits. Linen is a skin loving, durable, environmentally kind fabric and personally it just makes me feel good knowing that i am draping my skin with good vibrations.
Linen textiles may be some of the oldest in the world, we’re talking over 30,000 years. 🤯 The ancient Egyptians used linen bandages for mummification and burial shrouds, Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen as a symbol of light and purity. Linen bandages have also been used as wound dressings for thousands of years.
- Linen is naturally antibacterial, fabric stays fresher and cleaner for longer.
- Linen is hypoallergenic, making it an amazing choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It is gentle and chemical free!
- Linen is breathable, keeping you cool in summer.
- Highly absorbant and quick drying! Meaning our lovely linen towels are great for travel, sauna and general bathing!
- Linen is very durable. It only gets better and softer with time. It can also be washed at high heat. Sometimes we use our linen towels as sauna bench covers and it's comforting to know they can be washed at high heat for hygiene purposes without shrinkage issues.
- Linen is plant based, biodegradable and renewable. It requires little water to grow. Almost every part of the plant is used in production, leaving little to no waste and once its' life comes to an end, it returns to mother nature.
