The fabric

The linen used is from Solbiati, an italian company with a unique personality, packed with history and tradition, an important element in the textile sector that pays attention to the cultivation culture. In fact, Flax is the only natural fibre produced in Europe. It was introduced to Europe by Phoenician merchants. This ancient fibre was known to man for decades before Christ. In antiquity it symbolized divine purity and was deemed a sacred fabric able to ensure wellbeing, thanks to the softness with which it enveloped the skin of the wearer. Flax cultivated in western Europe is considered the best in the world. This is due to the climate, the availability of suitable terrain and the expertise acquired by the growers over the years. The attention dedicated to each production phase ensures the final quality of the product. The land should be carefully prepared, the varieties selected, sown, grown, harvested by means of pulling, and then macerated. All these phases are monitored closely to achieve top quality results.
