De Rerum Natura Antigone is a sport weight linen, grown in Normandie without any chemical input or pesticides.

Antigone is made of ten tightly twisted strands of combed linen, resulting in a smooth, silky yarn with a beautiful sheen to it.

Linen is a fibre that gets better and better with use and washing. It softens up each time, and is a durable fibre meaning that any linen garments, if cared for correctly will last you a lifetime.

De Rerum Natura champions sustainability and transparency. This is reflected through every aspect of their business practices.

For Antigone De Rerum Natura partners with Terre de Lin, a cooperative specialised in the production of high quality linen. Terre de Lin regroups 600 farmers who aim to return to ancient cultivation practices in order to preserve the soil health and microbiome.

The flax is wet-spun in Lithuania creating a soft and shiny yarn. Finally it is twisted and dyed in the Creuse region, France.
