IT'S ALL ABOUT LINEN

Fog Linen, that is. Made from all natural linen fabrics, Tokyo Creators Garden now carries Fog Linen's line of clothing and home products designed by Yumiko Sekine in Tokyo and produced in Lithuania, a Northern European country known for growing flax and manufacturing them into linen.

One of the most eco-friendly fabrics, linen is highly absorbent and has very good wicking, making it excellent for hot weather as it transmits moisture away from the body, providing cooling and refreshing properties. It is also 2 to 3 times stronger than cotton, increases in strength when wet, and is abrasion-resistant, thereby lasting longer. Yumiko Sekine makes use of the fabric's naturally exceptional qualities to create fine and exquisitely simple items ranging from comfortable garments to durable yet stylish products for the modern home.
