Linen: A Natural Textile Fibre

Linen is a plant-based textile fibre used in the production of clothing and accessories. Its distinctive appearance and feel give it a unique place in the wardrobe and allow it to be used across a wide range of product categories.

At Mat de Misaine, linen may be used on its own or blended with other fibres depending on the style and collection. The detailed composition of each product provides precise information about the proportion of linen and the other materials used.

Linen in Mat de Misaine Collections

Trousers, shirts, dresses, skirts, Bermuda shorts, tops, jackets and accessories: linen can feature across a variety of pieces in Mat de Misaine collections.

The current women’s collection reflects this diversity, with linen trousers and Bermuda shorts, shirts, a long dress, a skirt, a sleeveless jacket and even a bucket hat. Some styles also combine linen with cotton.

As the selection evolves from one collection to the next, the product page remains the reference for the exact composition of each style.

Linen and Fibre Blends

A garment containing linen is not necessarily made from 100% linen.

Depending on the desired characteristics of the style, linen may be blended with other fibres. Current Mat de Misaine collections, for example, include styles combining linen and cotton.

It is therefore important to check the composition stated on each product page rather than applying general characteristics of linen to every garment in the selection.

Linen and European Flax

Some Mat de Misaine products containing linen may also meet the European Flax criteria.

However, this indication should not be applied to all garments containing linen. It only applies to products for which this criterion is specifically stated.

Relevant styles may also be identified within Mat de Misaine’s Ligne Bleue, which brings together several criteria relating to materials, their origin or specific certifications.

How to Care for a Linen Garment

The care requirements of a garment containing linen depend on the product, its composition and the specific care instructions defined for the style.

Before washing, always check the care instructions on the garment label. Washing temperature, drying method and ironing temperature may vary from one product to another, particularly when linen is blended with other fibres.

This approach is far more reliable than the recommendations currently displayed on the page, which provide a general washing rule, suggest that tumble drying may be possible and systematically recommend ironing at a medium temperature.
