A check that runs the whole way. White slub lines cross this panel in both directions, evenly, from one fringed end to the other. There is no border and no centre field — the grid simply continues, which is why it reads as cloth rather than as a design applied to cloth.

• THE FULL WIDTH GRID: White lines cross the panel in both directions at an even spacing, so the check holds its rhythm however you fold or drape it.

• PURE LINEN, MINIMALLY PROCESSED: Woven from flax and finished without heavy processing. New linen is crisp rather than soft; it is not intended to feel like brushed cotton, and it relaxes noticeably after the first few gentle washes.

• THE LARGEST IN THE SIGNATURE RANGE: 190 x 75 cm (74.8" x 29.5") through the woven panel, plus roughly 9 cm (3.5") of fringe at each end. Wide enough to wear as a shoulder wrap rather than only at the neck.

• HOW TO KEEP IT: Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. No bleach, no wringing. Press the water out with a towel and dry flat in the shade, away from tumble dryers and direct heat.

The beauty of linen, and what to expect

Tone, slub and weave shift a little between production runs. Neutral shades read differently in daylight, indoor light and on a screen. A little loose fiber in the first weeks is normal and settles down. While the cloth is still slightly damp, work it gently with your hands to help the fiber bundles relax.
