Shades: The base of this unique shimmer linen boasts a natural light flax beige hue and is printed with colours of shimmering gold, copper, pink, purple, blue and green.

Design: This printed, closely woven flatweave, flaxhued linen will captivate you with its shimmering, yet not at all flashy, finish, redolent of the almost undulating swirls of colour of the Aurora Borealis, but more akin to pearlescent nacre. As the fabric moves, the shimmering hues appear and retreat, also Borealislike!

Texture: Woven closely in superfine yarns for the classic, fine, washed shirtweight feel of linen.
