Belgian Linen

EDITION 14

September 2nd, 2020

What if the blue flower, a poetic symbol that Novalis - a German poet of the Romantic movement - referred to was the linen flower? There is definitely something poetic about its ephemeral bloom at the beginning of summer: for about ten days, waves of blue corollas follow one another and invade the fields, before disappearing.

For millennia, flax cultivation has developed in Asia and then in the Nile Valley, spreading to Europe from 1700 B.C. The "woven moonlight" has travelled through time without losing its noble character. Linen is a light, resistant and ecological fibre nowadays mainly cultivated on a large European coastal area that extends from the plains of Caen to Amsterdam and Flanders. The naturally humid and temperate oceanic climate gives the soil ideal properties for the cultivation of this fibre.

 The Flemish territory and more particularly the province of West Flanders are the cradle of this industry. Only six weavers can proudly boast the "Belgian Linen" label, which guarantees that Belgian manufacturers are using at least 85% fibres of European origin. These companies, with whom we work in partnership and with the CELC (European Confederation of Flax and Hemp), perpetuate linen weaving and produce high-quality fabrics for our clothing. Linen, which improves with each wash, has always been favoured in our editions. Moreover, they are both suitable for the summer period and appropriate to the autumn season.

De Bonne Facture Textures Alpaca & wool blend Alpaca & wool blend 02 FEB 2022, TEXTURES Alpacas, who hail from the Andes in South America, are used to very high altitudes. Their wool is all at once warmer, softer, lighter and more resistant than lambswool. Alpaca wool is a carded type of wool, which means it has a fluffier finish. It is also a “dry” wool, a term used to say that it is has no lanolin, meaning it doesn’t lose much of its weight during washing and processing. Read →
Quilting Quilting 16 NOV 2021 The quilted jacket is an essential in the men's wardrobe and a French reference in classic menswear. It is made by sewing two pieces of fabric together and integrating an extra layer between them for a padded effect. A series of shapes is then obtained in quilting on the outer side of the garment. This sewing technique traps air in the fabric and is known for its insulating qualities against cold, wind and rain. The properties of the pieces made with this know-how can then be related to technical clothing. Read →
