About Us

At Northern Linen, we proudly carry forward the timeless heritage of flax spinning that goes back centuries. Our story traces back to the distinguished linen mill Severlyon, which was established in 1851. Throughout its history, this mill laid the foundation for what would become Northern Linen. 

At the turn of the millennium, Northern Linen emerged as an independent Dutch linen trading company, staying committed to the quality and craftsmanship.

Today, we remain steadfast in our devotion to the traditional and historic linen fabric that has shaped our journey. This devotion is embedded in our company’s ethos, exemplified by our director and founder who has owned several linen mills in the past and nowadays frequently visits the flax fields to collaborate with local farmers, hand selecting the finest flax fibers.

The sustainable nature of flax linen, and the fact that it has proven itself to be a strong, durable textile for centuries has made our company and our customers very loyal to the product and become one of the market leaders in the supply of linen fabrics.
