White Handwoven Linen Shirt
A timeless expression of understated menswear, the Venhoma White Handwoven Linen Shirt is crafted from pure 40 Lea handwoven linen. Its subtle woven texture and classic white colour bring natural character to a versatile silhouette designed for everyday wear.
Unlike conventional machine-made fabrics, handwoven linen carries subtle variations in its weave, giving every garment its own distinctive character. Naturally breathable and lightweight, linen offers exceptional comfort, making this shirt particularly suited to warmer climates and relaxed dressing.
Fabric & Craftsmanship
Made from 100% pure handwoven linen, this shirt features a fine 40 Lea weave that balances a lightweight feel with a distinctive textile character. The natural irregularities of the handwoven construction give the fabric its understated texture, while allowing it to remain breathable and comfortable throughout the day.
The white colour adds a timeless, versatile element to the wardrobe, pairing effortlessly with linen trousers, chinos, denim and tailored separates.
Collar, Placket & Cuff Details
Designed with attention to traditional shirtmaking details, this shirt features a classic straight point collar that creates a clean, timeless neckline.
The American placket gives the front a neat, structured finish, complemented by genuine mother-of-pearl buttons that add a subtle natural lustre. Finished with barrel cuffs, the sleeves offer a refined silhouette suitable for both casual and smart-casual occasions.

Wash Care & Garment Maintenance
Handwoven linen requires gentle care to preserve its unique texture, breathability, and the integrity of the artisanal weave. Because handwoven fabrics are more delicate than machine-made ones, avoiding harsh friction and high heat is essential.
Washing
- Hand washing in cold or lukewarm water is highly recommended.
- Use a mild liquid detergent and gently move the garment through the water.
- Do not wring, scrub, twist or aggressively rub the fabric.
- If machine washing, place the shirt inside a mesh laundry bag and select a delicate cycle with cold water and low spin speed.
- Do not use bleach or harsh chemical detergents.
- Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat natural linen fibres and reduce their absorbency.
Drying & Ironing
- Air dry only. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to help preserve the colour.
- Do not tumble dry, as heat and friction can cause shrinkage and damage the weave.
- Iron while slightly damp using a medium-to-high heat setting suitable for linen.
- If completely dry, lightly mist with water before ironing.
- Iron inside out to protect the fabric’s surface texture and prevent shine.
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated space.
- Avoid plastic storage bags that can trap moisture.
- Prefer breathable cotton storage bags or pillowcases.
- Hang on a suitable hanger or fold gently without creating sharp, pressed creases.
With thoughtful care, your handwoven linen shirt will retain its natural character and become a lasting part of your wardrobe.
