Irish Linen Fabric - Black

Some linens are good. Some linens are great. And then there’s this linen - a truly exceptional ex-designer Irish linen, woven in a rich, deep black.

Made from 100% pure linen, this deadstock fabric comes from high-end European designer production, and you can feel the difference the moment it’s in your hands. The weave is fine and tightly packed, giving the fabric a denser, almost cushioned feel; not stiff, but bouncy, weighty, and full of body.

Despite its smooth weave, there’s still that classic linen character: subtle texture, natural structure, and that lovely breathable feel. It’s also completely opaque, making it perfect for tailored separates, structured dresses, overshirts, waistcoats, and even lighter jackets.

Please note: this is a narrow-width fabric at 80cm wide, so you may want to allow a little extra in your meterage calculations - but it’s worth every centimetre.

This linen is deadstock fabric sourced directly from surplus designer production. Using deadstock fabrics helps reduce waste and gives these premium materials a second chance to shine. Limited availability – once it's gone, it’s truly gone.
