Linen Look Fabrics

What are Linen Look fabrics?

Linen look fabrics are textiles designed to replicate the appearance and texture of natural linen, but made from blends of synthetic and natural fibers. They capture the casual, elegant charm of real linen while being easier to care for and often more affordable. Popular in both fashion and interiors, linen look fabrics offer style, versatility and durability.

Properties of Linen Look

• Lightweight and breathable

• Wrinkle-resistant compared to pure linen

Durability of Linen Look

Unlike pure linen, linen look fabrics are less prone to wrinkling and shrinkage. Thanks to their blended composition, they hold their shape well and are resistant to wear, making them ideal for everyday use.

Composition

Linen look fabrics are typically made from polyester, cotton, viscose or blends. Polyester adds durability and wrinkle-resistance, while cotton and viscose bring softness and breathability. This mix results in a fabric that is practical and stylish.

Type of fabric: Woven or knitted?

Most linen look fabrics are woven, imitating the cross-weave of natural linen. This gives them a stable structure and authentic look, while knitted versions provide added stretch and comfort.
