Flax plants are grown in many countries and all the linen in our stunning array of products comes from flax plants that have been grown and woven in Europe, Belarus and Russia.

Flax plants are low input plants so don’t require as much fertilizer and pesticide as many other similar crops. This also makes flax plants a very renewable energy source and with a short growing cycle linen can be produced quite quickly.

Flax plant fibers are also incredibly strong and even more absorbent than what is often considered their biggest rival cotton.
