100% Linen. Lightweight, airy, and subtly sheer. This material feels like wearing a whisper. It has a cool, smooth hand-feel and catches the light most deliciously.
At 130 GSM, or 3.8oz/yd, our Lightweight Linen has enough weight to not feel too delicate for everyday wear, but is substantially lighter and floatier than our Midweight Linen. Excellent for sticky summer days, but also great for layering year-round.
Natural strength and durability are hallmarks of linen, and it's a super friendly fiber on the environment. It requires very little processing, and is hypoallergenic, comfortable in all seasons, insulating, and absorbent.
Linen is a natural fiber made from cellulose fiber inside the stalks of the flax plant. It is a complete product of nature, and can vary drastically in color and texture based on the growing conditions of the season.
Natural imperfections in weave are also to be expected and embraced-–slubs, nubs, and occasional bits of organic matter are common in linen. If you are looking for the homogeny and perfection of a synthetic fiber or a finely woven cotton you will not find it in linen.
Care: Wash on gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry warm. Leave unpressed for a beautifully rumpled look or press on medium heat with steam to remove wrinkles.
