History of Our Fabric

Our linens are of the highest quality using artisan made fabrics from premium threads of dyed cotton that are warp and weft-twisted, fast colors. The exuberant colors are modern and fresh. The origin of these fabrics echo the 150-year tradition of placing linens over the backs of the cows and burros on the farms to protect them from the heat of the Mediterranean sun. The larger the stripes in the pattern of the fabric that draped the cow or burro signified the wealth of the owner of the land. Today, each modern design represents a different province or village within the Basque and Catalan regions.
