Linen, a natural fiber made from flax, is the best fabric for summer and warm climes. It is an ancient textile. Archeologists discovered 34000-years old linen fibers in an excavation site in Georgia, in Eastern Europe. Another excavation, this time in Turkey, unearthed a 9000-years old plainly woven linen cloth. Today, it is a fashion staple. Linen thus stands for lasting relevance. It is also highly sustainable as linen production consumes less water, and the fabric is biodegradable and recyclable. Obviously linen is one of our all-time favorite fabrics!
The medium weight linen we have chosen for Corfu is strong and allows for a loose weave, enhancing breathability. With wear, it becomes softer - subtle wrinkles and texture adding to Corfu’s character. With a fabric which wicks away moisture up to 10% of its weight, the Corfu is as cool as it gets, literally and figuratively.
