Linen

Linen is made from approximately one metre long fibres of the flax plant and is the oldest type of woven fabric known to historians. Archaeological finds dating back to the Neolithic Period show the first signs of early flax culture. In ancient Egypt white linen was a symbol of divine purity while in the Christian religion this purely natural product continues to be greatly valued to this day.

The smooth fibre with its matt sheen and irregular thickness is especially absorbent and pleasantly cool in the summer. Linen is durable, has a firm feel and a comfortable weight. Linen’s characteristic creasing is seen as a particular sign of quality. OSKA works with top quality linen in various weights. Due to linen’s absorbent properties, the fabric is particularly suitable for dyeing in the individual shades of OSKA colours.

Linen is a characteristic feature of our summer collections. The product range includes trousers and jackets, skirts and dresses, blouses and tops, caps and bags.

Care instructions: We recommend washing coloured fabrics at 40°C. Linen can be pressed with a hot iron, preferably when the fabric is still slightly damp. Tumble-drying is not recommended as it makes ironing more difficult. Please read your garment label for further instructions.
