The Centro Lino Italiano is a consortium for the promotion of linen products. Its 50 Italian member companies are spinners, weavers of home, furnishing and clothing textiles.
The Centre is the Italian representative of MASTERS OF LINEN, the quality trademark of the Confédération Européenne du Lin et du Chanvre, which has been acknowledged by the European Union. The trademark identifies both textiles and the clothing, home and furnishing items produced with linen cultivated, spun and woven and made in Western Europe. European linen has no rivals.
The labels bearing this trademark are assigned only to the producers belonging to the Italian Linen Centre after they have been submitted to strict controls in order to guarantee the quality and composition of the fabric: pure linen, 50% minimum or mixed linen. This is a guarantee for consumers against imitation.
The president is Giancarlo Messaggi.
