What is the best linen to buy in France?
Linen is grown in France or Belgium, which means that linen can then be sold as French linen no matter where it is woven and finished. French linen is the best linen you can buy. This is because the temperature in the air allows flax to grow best.
How can you tell the difference between cotton and linen?
With natural raw materials, it can be difficult to tell one from the other unless you compare silk to hemp. But the essence is not the same and you will see the difference between fabrics. The main difference between cotton and linen is their botanical origin.
