Studio Essentials: Linen Wear
We at The Denizen Co. are huge fans of linen – a breathable and utilitarian fabric that grows softer with wear. The texture-rich natural fibers of a linen blouse are a perfect companion for a Friday afternoon at the office. Click through our favorite small batch designers and makers from around the world that specialize in unique and thoughtfully designed linen wear.
