A fifth generation company, all of Libeco’s linen is woven in Belgium.  Linen is made from flax.  This plant grows to more than three feet high in only 100 days.  After a short flowering period, the flax stems are pulled from the soil and dried on the field.  The fiber can then be extracted from the plant.  The rest of the plant is used in various materials.  Nothing goes to waste.  The spinner spins the flax fibers into yarn and Libeco weaves the yarn into linen fabric.  The fabric is then inspected yard by yard and mended by hand where necessary.  Libeco products are made with great care for the product, but also for the environment.  Over the last few years Libeco has made significant steps by becoming a CO2 neutral company and by launching a 100% organic linen collection.
