According to the Libeco website, "Lagae Linens was founded in 1858 and Libeco, just six years later.
Enduring the hardship of two World Wars, the strength of the linen industry of Flanders has waxed and waned in the 20th century. Today, with the merger of Libeco·Lagae, the outlook for Belgian linen production is brighter than ever in its venerable history."
"Libeco Home is a division of Libeco.Lagae and is specialized in manufacturing and distributing high end household linen and exclusive fabrics for retail and the contract market. It has its own stitching operation in Meulebeke."
You can purchase all your Libeco linens at C.A. Camp & Sannino.
Here is a fascinating short movie on the production of (and the wonders of) linen:
