Spoonflower to take advantage of Libeco’s Belgian Linen's craftsmanship, from fiber to fabric
Spoonflower’s newest fabric features the finest flax in the world, grown ecologically in the Flanders region and woven by Libeco, which has set the highest standards for textiles since 1858.
This medium-weight linen fabric showcases lustrous color over the beautifully textured surface.
Stronger than cotton and naturally hypoallergenic, Belgian Linen™ will soften with everyday use and is a top-of-the-line offering for decorators and makers interested in unmatched elegance on upholstery, bags and home decor.
This upholstery-weight fabric is a decorator’s dream for pillows, window treatments, benches-even tote bags.
Artisans in this region have been working with flax for centuries.
Their skills and expertise have been passed on from generation to generation.
From field to fiber, from yarn to fabric, the making of linen is a story of passion and craftsmanship.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Belgian Linen™ !
The flax plant grows best in the north of France, in Belgium and in the Netherlands. This region’s rich soil and mild North Sea climate, where sun and rain alternate, are ideal for growing a fiber that is known worldwide for its quality.
In 2018 about 136 000 acres of flax was sown in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, which represented 80% of the worldwide flax production.
