"For the Summers that Stay"
The Origin of Our Linen
At Riccaro Corduso, linen is more than a fabric it is a dialogue with the earth. Drawn from the untouched valleys of Ireland and the storied flax fields of Italy, our linen is sourced not for convenience, but for provenance. In these places, harvests are not scheduled but awaited, and generations of growers have long entrusted the soil, wind, and seasons to determine their rhythm. It is a craft shaped by nature’s quiet wisdom, and we honour it in every thread.
The Making of Linen
An Ancient Craft, Perfected
Our linen begins in simplicity flax gathered by hand at the height of its maturity, then gently dew-retted beneath open skies. From there, it travels to family-run mills where time-honoured methods endure in quiet harmony, and skilled hands patiently spin and weave not just fabric, but stories into every thread.
Our Standards
Quietly Exceptional
Not all linen is alike. At Riccaro Corduso, only flax of remarkable length, resilience, and understated lustre is chosen for our atelier. Every fibre is measured not only for its purity and hand-feel, but for the quiet character it carries. This is not fabric made for a season it is linen shaped by seasons, destined to endure.
Crafted by Artisans
Hand-Finished, Soul-Driven
Each garment is cut, stitched, and hand-finished by artisans whose craft is measured not in years, but in quiet devotion. Every chalk mark, buttonhole, and final press bears the imprint of tradition carefully upheld and skill honed over time creating pieces destined not merely to be worn, but to endure.
Sustainable by Nature
Nature’s Gift, Light on the Earth
Linen asks little of the land needing no pesticides, thriving on scarce water, and returning gently to the earth. At Riccaro Corduso, we honour its quiet integrity, following the natural rhythm of harvest and craft to create garments in harmony with the landscapes that give them life.
