Linen: why choose it?

Linen is one of the most resistant fabrics ever, composed of about 70% of cellulose, a very high percentage that allows you to strengthen the fibers. Its history is very ancient.

Linen was in fact used for the funeral functions of the Ancient Egyptians. Later exported to Europe, it gained much importance throughout the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, its use was extended to the production of sheets and shirts. The processing techniques have evolved more and more over the centuries and continue to progress to make linen a modern fabric able to meet the needs of consumers, which require sustainability, quality and beauty.

Linen is very versatile because it is hypoallergenic, antibacterial and antistatic (it does not attract dust). In fact, nowadays, it is widely used in the textile industry: from sustainable packaging to furniture, from clothing to household linen. In particular, linen is one of the latest trends in furniture. Let’s discover all the noble properties of this natural fabric and let us be inspired by the rich online catalog of Cimmino!
