France (linen production)

France has a rich history of linen production, primarily using flax plants that thrive in its northern regions, particularly in Normandy and Lille. The process involves growing, harvesting, and processing flax fibers, which are then spun into linen fabric. French linen is known for its high quality, durability, and natural texture, making it popular in both fashion and home textiles. The country’s expertise in this industry reflects a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, contributing to its reputation as a leading producer of fine linen goods in Europe and beyond.
