But whether you&#8217;re there or at home, there are a few things you can try out, such as local products. The same goes for Basque linen, which has been a great success over the years.  <\/p>\n<p>Originally, Basque linen comes from the mante \u00e0 b\u0153uf, a large cloth used to protect oxen from parasites and heat. This linen fabric with stripes was gradually used as household linen, as a sheet or tablecloth for example. Basque linen thus gradually made its way into the home, eventually reaching the realm of fashion.  <\/p>\n<p>Basque linen has therefore become a trendy product in many towns, and is now made from cotton to ensure a good quality weave. But you can easily find houses in the Basque Country that are keeping this classic creation alive to keep the traditions alive. <\/p>\n<p>These fabrics have been renewed year after year to offer a wide range of colors and must-have stripes. You&#8217;ll easily find what you&#8217;re looking for for your home, with bright shades and modern designs. One of the Basque country&#8217;s best-known houses offers 50 shades of Basque linen, so you&#8217;re sure to find the color you&#8217;re looking for.  <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re enjoying a holiday in the Basque Country, you can choose Basque linen as a souvenir and gift for your loved ones, to bring them back an essential, traditional item. You can also take the opportunity to teach them more about this timeless piece of fabric, which will continue to be renewed over the coming years! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Basque Country has many traditions and customs that you can discover [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2173],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>L as in Basque linen: a local tradition<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Basque tradition and authenticity in household linen: discover this know-how.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/relaisgourmet.com\/en\/l-as-in-basque-linen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"L as in Basque Linen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Basque Country has many traditions and customs that you can discover during your stay.
