The PP Natural Materials Guide — Every Fabric in the Collection Explained
The PP collection is built from natural materials alone — no synthetic fibres, no polyester, no microplastic-releasing fabrics. This guide explains each natural material in the collection: what it is, where it comes from, why it was chosen, and how it behaves.
Certified Belgian linen. Made from flax grown in the Belgium–northern France region and carrying the Belgian Linen® certification mark. The hollow-core flax fibre breathes in heat, wicks moisture, and improves with every correct wash. Used in: men's shirts, the Amelia dress shirt (Coral Orange, Violet, Oyster, Hibiscus colourways).
