Organic raw materials
The suppliers are farms present in the Dutch area of polders (fields conquered to the sea and drained), that the government has put at their disposal.
They are able to sustain a linen raw material production with organic methods, thanks to an elaborate system of watering and infrastructures for the realization of new conception fields.
These farms have developed new technics, after studies begun in '70s and improved in time, in order to combine the benefits of wide production and environmental exigences.
Using organic yarns, fabrics and garments is not only an ethical choice, in keeping with the environment.
It is also a more healthy choice, without giving up the style.
