Linen is a true natural talent – and in fashion, it's not only timeless but also incredibly versatile. Especially in the warmer months, the fabric shines with its fantastic properties: it's breathable, cooling on the skin, sustainable, and super stylish to boot.
Whether as a breezy blouse, a charming dress, or comfortable trousers – linen lends a relaxed elegance to every outfit. In our new collection at Bella Vita - Fashion & Lifestyle, we show just how versatile and modern linen can be. 💫
🌿 Natural, sustainable, pleasant
Linen is made from flax – one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Its production requires little water and no pesticides, making linen one of the most sustainable materials available. And best of all: it feels wonderfully light, especially in warm weather.

✨ Easy care & durable – so linen stays beautiful
Linen is robust, but still appreciates gentle care. To keep your favorite pieces looking beautiful for longer, here are the best care tips for you:
🔹 Washing
Linen can be machine washed – ideally at 30 to 40 degrees on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener, as it can cause the fibers to stick together and impair the fabric's natural breathability. Light-colored linen fabrics can also be washed at 60 degrees if necessary – for example, tablecloths or bed linens.
🔹 Drying
Linen loves air and space. After washing, hang it up flat to avoid unnecessary creases. Avoid the dryer, as the heat can make the fibers brittle.
🔹 Ironing (or not 😉)
Linen wrinkles elegantly – it's simply part of its charm. If you do want to iron it: ideally, do so while it's still slightly damp and on a medium setting. A steam iron is perfect for this! Even better: simply let the garments dry on a hanger – this will reduce the wrinkles on its own.
🔹 Storage
Linen loves to breathe! The best way to store your linen items is hanging or folded in a well-ventilated closet. Important: Do not store in plastic bags – linen needs to breathe.
🔹 Long live linen
With proper care, linen actually becomes even more beautiful over time: the fibers soften without losing their shape. So it's worth investing in quality pieces – they'll last you for many summers to come.
In conclusion: Linen is easy to care for if you keep a few things in mind – and in return, it gives you timeless style and a wonderfully light feel. 🌾
