It is universally agreed that linen products manufactered in Belgium are highly sought-after. Why should this be? Since linen production is a highly specialized domain, Belgian specialists alone have the in-depth knowledge and experience required to ensure perfection throughout the various manufacturing processes, from sowing the flax fields right through to packaging the finished product. This is, of course, perfectly logical and selfevident. Especially when we consider how the established families of flax growers, linen weavers and manufacturers of linen products

 

have passed on their experience from generation to generation through the centuries.

The history of the Belgian weavers is intimately bound up with the social and cultural context of this region of Europe which has become so famous by virtue of the world renowned artists it has produced, such as Van Eyck, Rubens, Ensor and Magritte.
