Ze zijn, als familiebedrijf in het West-Vlaamse Meulebeke, uitgegroeid tot de grootste linnenweverij van België.
Essentieel in hun productieproces is
transparantie en traceerbaarheid, waarden die we ook bij Studio AMA hoog in het vaandel dragen. Het linnen van Libeco is dan ook zowel
lokaal geproduceerd als duurzaam; het is
biologisch afbreekbaar en niets gaat verloren – zoals in onze samenwerking mag blijken.
We hebben de linnenoverschotten met atelierplezier omgezet tot stijlvolle
garments that you can wear with a clear conscience and satisfactionday after day.

maintenance
It is important to take good care of your favourite AMA item! This will ensure a longer life for the garment, so you can wear it as long as possible.
- Overwashing is bad for the environment and for your mood.
- Steaming is the quickest and easiest way to refresh.
- Preferably don't use too much and not too aggressive detergents. ("Too much is never good, except for happiness." - from my grandmother)
- Linen and towelling can take a hit, high temperatures are no problem.It is better to run your machine at a low temperature. Less emissions and often more than adequately cleaned.
- To avoid accidents, it is better to put the garment together with the same colours in the washing machine.
- Ironing and Dryer but preferably choose a natural drying method - the open air!

both ecological and economical And that is how your clothes last longer.
