Beautifully soft with a relaxed, slightly slubby appearance, this black bamboo and linen fabric has that lovely combination of texture and drape that makes simple garments look rather special. The bamboo gives it a smooth, supple handle while the linen brings a more natural character to the surface, with tiny lighter fibres visible through the black. At 245gsm, it has a reassuring amount of body but still hangs beautifully rather than feeling stiff or heavy.
This is a cracking choice for relaxed trousers, loose jackets, shirt dresses, skirts, pinafores, tunics and simple dresses, particularly when you want something comfortable but a little smarter than an everyday linen. The black makes it endlessly useful, while the bamboo and linen blend stops it looking too severe. Soft, breathable and very wearable, it’s exactly the sort of cloth that can quietly become half your wardrobe.
