This large, striped linen towel comes from Belgian linen manufacturer Libeco. A fifth-generation family business that first rose to prominence exporting sought-after Flemish flax in the nineteenth century, Libeco still operates out of its original Meulebeke-based mill. 

More than 160 years later and Libeco’s offering remains top of the range. Made from European flax, the fabric is inspected yard by yard during the manufacturing process and finished by hand.

KONFEKT’S SUMMER ISSUE

Our travel themed issue offers long-reads and lots of sun-drenched escapism to inspire and inform the season’s journeys and adventures. From a whizz across Lake Zürich in a svelte runabout to a dive into the azure Adriatic after an epic train journey, the latest edition of Konfekt is an ode to those fresh and free aquatic moments that only summer can offer. We’ll tour the Polish lake district, check into a sculptural modernist motel in the Camargue and spend an afternoon in a Danish holiday cabin. Discover crafted garments in Mexico City, a sartorial homage to the riviera in St Tropez and the season’s most winning ensembles captured in our fashion report on the rooftops of Cairo. Expect enveloping reads for endless summer days; pull up a chair at a Neapolitan yacht club for a roundtable on geopolitics and the high seas; and be submerged into essays on Odyssean journeys and the history of swimwear.
