Linen is a natural fibre derived from the flax plant. Known for its strength, breathability and distinctive texture, it offers excellent comfort in warm weather and becomes softer with wear. Flax generally requires little irrigation and relatively few pesticides, contributing to linen's reputation as a lower-impact fibre.

Crochet is an open textile construction made by interlocking loops with a hooked tool rather than by weaving or conventional knitting. Its visible stitches create a distinctive handmade appearance, often with large open spaces and repeating motifs. In fashion, crochet is commonly used for dresses, tops, skirts and accessories.
