Linen is a natural fabric made from the flax plant.
It is one of the world’s oldest fibres and has always represented purity, comfort, and honesty in its texture. Because linen fibres are hollow, they allow better airflow than cotton or synthetic blends. This makes linen naturally cool, breathable, and comfortable especially in Indian climates. No synthetic fibre can fully imitate the comfort of true linen.
Pure Linen. Perfect Craft.
Our linen begins its journey in regions known for growing the world’s finest flax - France, Belgium, and Lithuania. These regions offer: cool, moist climates, mineral-rich soil, slow, natural growth cycles. This combination produces long flax fibres that give linen its signature style and comfort. Once the fabric arrives in India, it is crafted with precision cutting, stitching, shaping, and finishing done with care and experience. LinenRaj is the meeting point of: European purity + Indian craftsmanship.

It was prized for its purity, durability, and natural elegance.Across cultures, linen has been associated with ceremony, respect, tradition, and refined living. Today, European flax linen continues this legacy, maintaining the same purity and natural comfort that made linen a symbol of quality through history.
