Description
This beautiful ex-designer 100% linen fabric was originally made for a renowned British designer, a Royal Designer for Industry known for his eponymous luxury brand. Light, refined, and naturally breathable, this fabric reflects true craftsmanship, featuring a timeless check pattern and elegant drape. The fine weave and smooth texture make it a sophisticated choice for creating garments that are both stylish and effortless to wear.
At 148cm wide and 110gsm, this lightweight woven linen is perfect for warm-weather sewing and refined tailoring. Its airy handle and natural texture make it ideal for shirts, dresses, blouses, skirts, and relaxed summer trousers. A rare ex-designer deadstock, this is a piece of genuine British design heritage — available only while stocks last.

Care & washing
Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.
Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

I had to take a chance on it as couldn't have a sample - deadstock. But it's gorgeous! Delivery very quick, a day or two. Haven't cut it yet but know what I'm going to make and really looking forward to working on it - and wearing it of course!
