SERVICE IN STYLE -- This 100-percent
linen half-apron by Libeco is woven in Belgium.
Two front pockets come in handy during cooking,
and its wrap-around closure makes it a cinch to
remove when you finally glide into the dining
room.
linen:
a fabric woven from the woody flax fibers of the Linum
plant. Flax, a “green crop”, grows naturally without a lot of extra chemicals, pesticides or water and almost all parts of the plant are used — from fabric, flax seed and linseed oil to bank notes. Linen, one of the oldest textile fibers, is two to three times stronger than cotton. Initially, linen is a bit stiff, but will grow softer with each washing. The finest linen comes from northern Europe.
