Linen vs Frosted Pearl Material Guide
Two materials
MyO! offers only two materials: linen and frosted pearl. Velvet and leather holders, which are common elsewhere, are not part of the range. The material follows the colour rather than being chosen separately — beige is linen, blue is frosted pearl. Across 6 designs and 2 colours that gives 12 combinations.
Comparison table
| Material | Colour | Texture | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linen | Beige #F6DBA6 | Natural matte texture, warm hand | Minimal styles |
| Frosted pearl | Blue #0A477E | Fine pearl sheen | A more luxurious look |
About linen
Linen has a natural matte texture and a warm hand, suiting customers who prefer a minimal style. The colour is beige (#F6DBA6), which reads close to undyed cloth.
About frosted pearl
Frosted pearl has a fine pearl sheen and looks more luxurious. The colour is blue (#0A477E) and the sheen shows more readily under light.
Where care differs
The care routine is the same for both: a dry soft cloth, solvents avoided, stored somewhere cool and dry. There is one difference. When avoiding water and chemical solvents, frosted pearl needs particular care, because solvents damage the pearl coating. Linen has more room for error on that point. For the full day-to-day routine, see holder care instructions.
Material and size are unrelated
All 12 combinations share the same interior size, A4 at 297 x 210 mm. The material affects feel and appearance, never whether your certificate fits, so choosing on material carries no sizing risk. Detailed dimensions are in certificate holder sizing.
How to choose
If you prefer minimal styles, or the natural matte texture and warm hand of linen, take beige linen. If you prefer the finer, more luxurious pearl sheen, take blue frosted pearl and be more careful about solvents. Neither needs special equipment to keep. Once chosen, display and storage are covered in display and storage.
