History of Linen

It is believed that the linen fabric first appeared in India. The first mention of bed linen appeared only at the beginning of the XV century in ancient Rome. Linen fabric with beautiful prints of fruits, flowers and cupids was supplied from Egypt to Italy. Rich Romans made their beds with it, because they believed that it brought strength to their beloved.

This custom came to Europe much later, during the Renaissance, but, of course, only rich people could afford to lay expensive fabric on a bed. Later, in the era of rococo and baroque, the fashion to decorate bed linen with lace and embroidery appeared.

The beneficial effect of fibers on human health has been established long ago. Since then, centuries have passed, and linen continues to impress. It conceal a special warmth, the ability to create comfort in any interior. Linen fabrics are used for making clothes, bedding, curtains, tablecloths. The beneficial effect of flax fibers on human health has been also established.

• Linen keeps warm and cools at the same time depending on the weather.
