Linen has led the fabric world for thousands of years. Due to its excellent durability, sustainable linen fashion has been used to make everyday clothing for centuries. One of the reasons why sustainable linen fashion continues to remain current is that the fabric is absorbent and breathable. It is the perfect fabric on hot summer days.

Linen has been scientifically tested and proved to be highly absorbent, being able to absorb twenty per cent of its weight in moisture before feeling damp. This means that your linen bathrobe or your linen shirt will not feel damp to the touch. The fabric has also proven to keep moisture away from the body, making it comfortable and relaxing to wear.

Bonjour Le Lin, a leader in high-quality sustainable linen fashion, said “Our linen range is durable and long-lasting. Linen is thirty per cent stronger than cotton. The long flax fibres that are used to make the fabric are long-lasting and exceptionally strong. It's not uncommon for your favourite linen dress or shirt to last for thirty years or more.

The fabric doesn't lose its shape or colour, even with multiple wash cycles. This is because the fabric softens and is more comfortable the more you wear and wash it. The reason linen fashion has grown in popularity in recent years is because it is sustainable and environmentally friendly. We live in a world with a growing awareness of climate change, encouraging us to purchase eco-friendly and sustainable products.

Baudouin Deboulle, the Managing Director at Bonjour Le Lin, said “Linen is the most sustainable fabric in the world. It comes from the flax plant that grows in poor-quality conditions without fertilizers. It needs considerably less water to grow. It is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The entire plant is used after harvesting. The fibres are used to make linen fabric, while other parts of the plant are used in animal feed and oils. In addition to this, once you are finished with your sustainable linen fashion, it is completely biodegradable, taking around two weeks for a linen dress to biodegrade in soil.”
