Linen is a natural textile made of flax fibers derived from the stems of the flax plant.

The word Linen is originally derived from the Latin Linum. Linen leads to terms like lining in English and lingerie in French. It refers to the inner fabric of garments and underwear made of Linen. As linen became more popular, its uses became more diverse and commonly refer to beddings and home decor accessories.

The fabric originated in Ancient Mesopotamia around 10,000 years ago. It took another 9,000 years for humankind to combine the wheel and flax to mechanize linen production. Due to its durability and royal look, linen production has continued to increase in recent years.
