At LinenMe we pride ourselves on the top quality of our linen textile products. Which is why we are delighted to be recognised under the European Flax ® trademark – a mark of premium quality European linen and traceability established by the European Confederation of Flax and Hemp. So, what does this mean for you, our valued customer? This certification shows you that the linen fabric used in one of our linen garments or homewares has been sourced from high grade European linen. Tested for strength and sourcing, this linen comes from European flax, grown across the lowlands of Belgium, the Netherlands and Northern France. These coastal areas have the perfect conditions for growing the finest flax: cool, damp climate, rich soil and a strong history of flax growing expertise. Europe is the world’s number 1 producer of linen fibre, which is not only used in textiles but in a huge range of industries.
