Love it or loathe it!
I have one word for you this week…Linen…the Marmite of the fabric world! There are those who won’t go near it for fear of the dreaded iron, and those who won’t wear anything but linen due its cool, comfortable qualities.
If you fall into the first category, look away now 😊 (Although I would suggest you give it another chance…). I’m not a mad keen ironer, but I never mind doing linen as it’s so easy and satisfying and nothing feels better than freshly ironed linen on a hot day. Some people, like Cathy, are fortunate enough to live with someone who loves ironing. Hold on to those people if you’ve got one too!
With similar qualities to cotton, linen is a luxurious fabric, popular for centuries, made from the stems of flax plants and harder wearing than cotton due to the fibres being more tightly wrapped. It is also very environmentally friendly.
We’ve got some fabulous linens in the shop at the moment.

Kasbah’s softly coloured tunics and shirts are superb every day essential wardrobe additions.

Stay safe and well ladies.
NB: We are keeping with the appointment system to ensure we can manage in the shop with only one member of staff. This won’t necessarily mean you’ll be alone in the shop so if you want to be, please make sure we know when you book your appointment.
