Linen is the world's strongest natural fibre and very absorbent, it dries much faster than cotton. Find out the other benefits that make linen so magical with our linen range of wheneverwear...
The magic of linen:

Easy of care - your linens can be machine washed and tumble dried or hung to dry naturally.
Hypoallergenic - linen is very breathable and dries quickly reducing the time available for allergy causing bacteria and microbes to breed.
Suitable for every season - linen is both light and breathable as well as insulating, so it can help you retain your body heat in winter, and wick away the sweat in summer.
