Fabric Source & Production

Susanna Davis fabrics and products use only the highest quality flax fibres in its Baltic linen. Sourced from Belgium or northern France, dedicated farmers, who liken themselvesto wine makers, put their hearts and souls into their produce.
​
In Latvia and Lithuania, where linen weaving is akin to a philosophy, our much prized Baltic linen fibres are laboriously spun into yarn, dyed and woven by, reputable artisan firms, producing the finest qualityhand crafted linen fabric and finished goods.
​
Only ecological, non-toxic chemicals are used in the yarn dyeing process. We ethically source all produce and work directly with weavers to create our full range of fabric and finished goods. Each supplier operates on a limited, woven-to-order production basis, ensuring the highest quality product and finished fabrics.

Design Inspiration

"With a symbiotic feel for the tactile texture of linen, it gives me joy to see how colours combine and inter-connect; seeing a harmonious co-existence of varying textures and tones uplifts my soul.

​It is a personal expression of my fascination for the lustre
of linen." - Susanna Davis

Susanna formed the first colour range in 2002, drawing on sparse Nordic simplicity, its fir-forested terrain, the ethereal, misty hues of Latvia's lakes and the frozen waters of the Baltic Sea in early spring.

"A primary source of inspiration is Nature's own palette." - Susanna Davis

​Add to the mix the cerulean skies of the Indian Himalaya, contrasted with its raw, jagged snow line, deodar cedar forests, Mogul forts set astride sheer sandstone escarpments with meticulously elegant stone fretwork, red sandstone forts alongside dazzling white marble - a heady fusion of intertwining colours begins to emerge.
