THIEFFRY

Since 1837, Thieffry has produced timeless linens for the home in Roubaix, France near the border with Belgium. Each piece is made in Europe from flax to finish. Backed by 179 years of tradition and craftsmanship, these true Belgian linen pieces are a new family heirloom.

Linen is stronger than cotton or wool. Its is lint free, non-static, doesn’t pill and naturally repels mold and moths. Linen air dries beautifully, gets softer with washing and is hypo-allergenic.
