Why we love linen…

Wednesday, September 4th, 2024

You probably already know that linen is an excellent fabric choice for Summer, but did you know why? Here are just a few of the many great things about this material.

  1. It’s made from flax

Flax is a plant-textile fibre. Linen fabric is made from the cellulose fibres that grow inside of the stalks of the flax plant. See Saw source European quality Flax which is grown in France.

  1. It’s 100% natural

From the first seeds sown to the production of the garments themselves, flax is totally natural. It needs no irrigation – only rainwater – to grow, with little fertilizer and no pesticides, making it an environmentally sustainable fabric choice.

  1. It’s temperature regulating

Linen is a Summer friendly fabric which allows the skin to breathe. Therefore, linen clothes and sheets feel both cool to wear and to the touch on a hot day or balmy night. In cold weather, surprisingly, linen also retains warmth. The fabric is hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial, too so it’s great for those with sensitive skin or for young children.

  1. It’s easy to care for

You may think linen is a high-maintenance fabric, but that’s not the case. Linen is an incredibly easy fabric to care for. It keeps its colour and, the more you wash it, the softer it becomes, making the fabric easier to iron. Linen should ideally be ironed while still slightly damp for the best results.

  1. It’s enduring

Linen is the strongest of the vegetable fibres and two to three times more durable than cotton. The high wax content of flax gives linen its characteristic lustre and it can withstand plenty of machine washing, which comes in handy on holiday when you might want to wear favourites on repeat.

We at See Saw love working with linen and these reasons are just part of why it is such an important fabric in our summer collection.

Available exclusively in local boutiques all over Australia.

Summer Styling

Wednesday, October 25th, 2023

Get Ready for your fabulous and very festive outfit with our TROPICAL FLORAL range.

Big bold outlines of brilliant tropical flowers, this collection is a show stopper! The design print lends itself to a single highlight piece like the flutter sleeved top or a pant – team it back with fresh white linen, or a try pop of colour – it looks fabulous with green or orange.  Our favourite this season is to wear the matchy set!

Think Christmas party or a day out with the girls this print will make you be the life of the party. Our 100% French Flax linen is highly sought after due to its high quality, natural features that makes it easy to care for and for all its sustainable qualities.

This makes our collection elevated classic long term pieces for you to have in your wardrobe for years to come. Our beautiful button back top is finished off with quality details like black button finishes to the interfacing to provide structure to the garment.  This is what makes SEE SAW different from the rest!
