Designer Louise Murphy, brings to life a selection of sensually inspired textiles under the Forbidden Linen label.

Her deliciously delicate lace edged handkerchiefs come in a variety of designs that portray the beauty of a woman’s body in various discreet poses and evokes sensual imagery through the tactile medium of cotton finery, wool and lace.

“For a long time now I have thought that most household linens are just plain boring,’ says Murphy. ‘From a simple handkerchief to a brazen, brightly coloured bed-throw, Forbidden Linen turns ordinary haberdashery into objects of desire and elegance. It’s quite simply, textile titillation.”
