Why 100% Linen Drapes Feel Different The beauty of authentic linen lies in its distinct character and feel. Where some fabrics may have an artificial sheen and a stiff drape, our Tahiti collection celebrates the unique qualities of pure, natural flax. You'll notice its signature "nubby" texture (slubs) and appreciate the gorgeous, substantial weight that is the hallmark of genuine linen. Because they are natural, they actually breathe. Customers tell us the room literally feels airier-cool in the summer, cozy in the winter. It's the easiest way to make your space look like it was styled by a pro without actually hiring one.
