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.

Voile is a very lightweight, fine plain-weave fabric with an airy, often slightly transparent appearance. It has a soft hand and fluid drape and is commonly used for lightweight clothing and layering.

Founded in Britain in 1970, Jigsaw combines contemporary design with an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality fabrics. The brand works with its own atelier and produces many collections in limited runs, with a focus on distinctive pieces rather than high-volume fashion. Jigsaw also has a longstanding connection with British arts and culture through its Art Foundation.
