I often describe linen as the European version of silk—timeless, breathable, and soft against the skin. LIONA sits comfortably between lightweight and heavy, fine and rustic. It’s slightly heavier than our Linon fabric, making it a better choice for skirts, shirts, and trousers, rather than airy blouses or delicate tops.
This is a classic, white oxygen-bleached linen, full of softness, structure, and versatility. A reliable staple for both clothing and homeware projects.
The Fabric
Woven from 100% European linen, LIONA has a midweight feel and soft white finish. At 190 g/m², it's ideal for structured garments and everyday interior projects. It is not prewashed, so we recommend allowing for around 10% shrinkage after the first wash.
Uses

The Environment
Linen is among the most eco-conscious fibres available. Flax grows quickly in poor soils with little water and no need for chemical inputs. Every part of the plant is used, making it a low-waste and renewable resource from seed to cloth.
Health & Comfort
Breathable, hypoallergenic, and kind to sensitive skin, linen is a natural choice for those affected by prickly heat, hot flushes, or fabric sensitivities. Its temperature-regulating quality makes it ideal for year-round comfort.
Care
Linen becomes softer and more supple with every wash. LIONA is best washed at 60–90°C on a gentle cycle. Do not iron — its natural creasing is part of its charm and character. Hang or lay flat to dry while still damp. With time, it will mould to the shape of your project and last for years.
