You may also choose a washed percale model. This fabric undergoes a washing process after manufacturing, giving it a naturally crinkled appearance.

As a 100% natural fibre, linen is an eco-friendly and durable choice. Linen sheets offer an elegant, aesthetic finish that works just as well in a master bedroom as in a guest room. They are ideal for warm weather thanks to their lightness and excellent air circulation, yet they are equally suitable for use throughout the rest of the year. Hypoallergenic and antibacterial, linen is a great ally for sensitive and allergy-prone skin. It dries quickly, preferably in the shade, as prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause discolouration. Due to its naturally crinkled appearance, ironing linen is optional.

Sylvie Thiriez offers a selection of stonewashed linen models, washed with lava stones, available in soft shades such as jade green or terracotta orange.
