Linen is one of the world's oldest textile fibres. Centuries of innovation and research have consolidated its prominent role in women's dress. Much favoured for its subtly iridescent appearance, it is lightweight yet resilient and extremely pleasant to wear throughout the day. Combined with the timeless appeal of the iconic double-breasted garment, it forms a wardrobe staple. The jacket can be combined with trousers made of the same fabric, for a refined suit effect.
