SAHALA – Lightly Textured White Linen Fabric
Origin: Italy | Width: Approx. 150 cm
Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise.
I like to describe linen as the European version of silk—light, breathable, elegant, and made from one of the oldest and most sustainable fibres we know.
SAHALA is a fine, softly woven white linen with a subtle sheen and a beautifully mottled effect, created by weaving natural, undyed linen yarns in slightly different tones. The result is a timeless, light-catching fabric that works beautifully in garments and soft interiors alike.
The Fabric
Woven in Italy using 100% natural linen, this cloth has a soft hand and gentle structure. Linen holds shape, breathes easily, and gets softer over time—making it ideal for both summer wear and long-lasting home use.

The Environment
Linen is one of the most sustainable fibres available. Flax grows well in poor soil and needs very little water. Every part of the plant is used—textile fibre, oil, paper, and more. This makes it a low-waste, low-impact fabric that’s both beautiful and responsible.
Health & Comfort
Linen is gentle on sensitive skin and helps regulate body temperature—especially helpful for those prone to heat irritation or hot flushes. Like silk, it’s naturally breathable and antibacterial, making it a perfect fabric for warmer weather or close-to-skin use.
Care
Linen gets better with age. It loves to be washed and softens over time. The natural creasing is part of its charm and structure—no ironing needed. It dries quickly, holds its shape, and outlasts many other natural fibres in durability.
