A Historical Tapestry: Weaving Tradition Since 1858
Step back in time to a Flanders where flax weaving became a specialized pursuit for farmers seeking additional income during winter. Libeert & Compagnie, our esteemed company, thrived in Kortrijk, selling sought-after Flemish flax globally. The industrial shift led to the establishment of our weaving mill in Meulebeke, a historic site that continues to weave history today, over 150 years later.
The Flourishing Flax Region: Past and Present
Explore the historic flax region surrounding Kortrijk, transformed by the prosperity of linen. In 19th-century Meulebeke, over 65% of the population worked in the flax industry, leaving a lasting mark on the local landscape. Today, streets bear names reminiscent of this era – Vlasstraat, Roterijstraat, and Linnenstraat. The region remains renowned for producing the world’s finest flax, transformed by experienced craftsmen into the highest quality linen.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability: 100% Belgian Linen
Libeco takes pride in offering 100% Belgian linen, with each yard undergoing meticulous inspection and hand-mending where necessary. The commitment extends beyond craftsmanship to environmental responsibility, with recent achievements including CO2 neutrality and a 100% organic linen collection.
