Written by the company
Rooted in the rich heritage of Lurgan, Northern Ireland, Givan's Irish Linen Stores is dedicated to providing discerning customers worldwide with exquisitely crafted, authentic Irish linen and enduring home goods, guided by a commitment to quality, integrity, and a deep appreciation for our textile traditions and the lasting value they offer. Originally established in London in 1899, with prestigious locations in Bond Street and later the King's Road, Givan's dedication to the finest linens earned us the distinguished honour of a Royal Warrant of Appointment as Linen Drapers to Her Majesty the Queen, granted on Friday 30th December 1988, published in the thirteenth supplement to The London Gazette. Today, Givan's is proudly owned by Samuel Lamont & Sons Limited, a well-established County Antrim company renowned for producing high-quality cotton terry towels and Irish linen fabric products. While our physical presence has evolved, our commitment to providing customers worldwide with the best in Irish linen remains steadfast through our online store and mail-order catalogue. Our collection features an exclusive range from McCaw Allan, one of the few remaining names still producing genuine linen in Northern Ireland. Their work reflects generations of expertise, with every piece made with care, precision, and respect for tradition. We focus on well-made products that stand the test of time; linens that become softer with use, stitching that holds, and fabric that carries a sense of where it comes from. From crisp linen sheets and finely woven tablecloths to soft, absorbent towels and hand-embroidered handkerchiefs, you'll find pieces here that feel considered, practical, and made to last. Givan's prides itself on offering only the best heirloom quality linens. With over a century behind us, we're proud to continue a tradition of careful sourcing, honest materials, and a personal approach to quality that never goes out of style.

Don't go anywhere else
I have been shopping with Givans for years and years. Sadly they no longer make their own towels as the Kismet range was the best and lasted for years.
I go nowhere else for linen and they have also been really kind and made up bundles as wedding presents.

The most gorgeous handkerchiefs and excellent customer service!
I ordered some handcherchiefs for gifting. There was a slight issue with the delivery due to our slightly unusual address and I contacted customer service, who were so helpful! They re-sent the order, which reached me two days after I contacted them, along with a kind gift. The handkerchiefs (William Morris pattern) are as gorgeous in person as online. Would highly recommend!

Proper linen tea towels
I always buy the old fashioned linen tea towels, 100% linen are increasingly difficult to purchase, I usually buy the 12% cotton 88% linen which are good, but these Givan ones 100% linen are excellent, they dry dishes quickly, and are superb for glasses. They are well worth the price.
