Linen, a natural beauty.

OSKA linen is smooth, pleasantly cool, with a sublte sheen, and durable. Since the beginning of the OSKA label, linen has been one of our most important fabrics and the number one material of each spring/summer collection. We use linen for many products, from jackets to trousers. Throughout all our linen products, this elegant natural fabric perfectly demonstrates the most important parameters of OSKA's philosophy: our love of natural materials refined through careful and elaborate processing, as well as our passion for fashion, which we realize in an individual, expressive, and timelessly modern look.

Leinen made in Europe.

For these procedures - from production of the fiber to yarn and up to the finished fabric - OSKA exclusively trusts our long-standing European trade partners. For them, the best quality in selection and ecologically sound processing of this valuable natural fibre. That is why we obtain our delicate and lighter linen fabrics, as well as specially striped and checked textiles, from our Irish trade partners. We also source linen from partners in the Czech Republic.

Linen is made from approximately one metre long fibres of the flax plant and is the oldest type of woven fabric known to historians. It is a long process to make the plant's hard stalk suitable for textile use, and requires numerous technical procedures.

The smooth fibre with its matt sheen and irregular thickness is especially absorbent and pleasantly cool in the summer. Linen is durable, has a firm feel and a comfortable weight. Linen’s characteristic creasing is seen as a particular sign of quality. OSKA works with top quality linen in various weights. Due to linen’s absorbent properties, the fabric is particularly suitable for dyeing in the individual shades of OSKA colours.

Linen is a characteristic feature of our summer collections. The product range includes trousers and jackets, skirts and dresses, blouses and tops, caps and bags.

Care instructions:: We recommend washing coloured fabrics at 40°C. Linen can be pressed with a hot iron, preferably when the fabric is still slightly damp. Tumble-drying is not recommended as it makes ironing more difficult. Please read your garment label for further instructions.
