With its characteristic smooth texture and breathable properties, linen offers a luxurious feel and refined appearance. Linen is a natural and versatile fabric made from flax fibres, resulting in a textile that is durable, absorbent and naturally hypoallergenic. It is known for its ability to absorb moisture and dry quickly, making it ideal for warm and humid conditions. Linen also becomes softer and more supple with wear and washing, making it a favourite fabric for everyday use.
At Verhees Textiles, we offer a wide variety of linen blends, including linen mixed with viscose, cotton or Sorona®. Each quality has its own unique characteristics. Many blends retain the natural linen look while offering additional comfort or drape. Alongside our extensive collection of basic linen qualities, we also offer a wide range of linen blends with unique prints.
Key Characteristics of Linen Fabrics:
Our collection includes a wide selection of printed linen fabrics featuring fresh colours, floral prints and graphic designs. These patterns give garments a modern and vibrant appearance while maintaining excellent comfort. Most printed linen fabrics are blended with viscose or cotton. Linen-viscose blends provide extra softness and elegant drape, making them ideal for dresses, skirts and blouses. Linen-cotton blends offer a firmer feel and are suitable for trousers, shirts and tunics. Printed linen is especially popular for summer collections thanks to its fresh look, natural texture and excellent wearing comfort.
In addition to coloured qualities, Verhees Textiles offers a selection of undyed and untreated linen fabrics. These fabrics retain their natural appearance and authentic texture, making them popular for sustainable fashion collections and interior projects. Alongside natural linens, we also offer a range of basic linen qualities in trendy colours for fashion, interiors and accessories. Whether you choose natural or coloured linen, our collection is available directly from stock.
