The Luxury Drapery Fabric Brands

The Venetian atelier whose hand-printed cotton has dressed European palazzos, museum interiors, and the most considered American houses for a century.

Founded by Mariano Fortuny on the island of Giudecca in Venice, the house still prints every yard on the same long-staple Egyptian cotton using a proprietary multi-layer pigment process whose recipes are kept under lock by the Riad family.

A 165-year-old Venetian weaver whose silks, velvets, and jacquards are still produced on antique looms restored from the Bevilacqua archive.

Rubelli has woven decorative silks and velvets in Venice since 1858 and today operates the Bevilacqua weaving mill alongside its own production. The house licenses Donghia and represents Armani Casa textiles internationally.

The American house of record for traditional weaves — silk damasks, brocades, and the archival White House restorations.

Founded by Franco Scalamandré in New York, the house built its reputation on restorations of Mount Vernon, Monticello, Blair House, and the White House. Today it operates as a textile design house with an archive of over 32,000 patterns.

The American-French house known for printed cottons, archival florals, and English Country interiors translated for the American market.

Founded by Achille Brunschwig in Mulhouse, the house has been an institution of the American trade since the 1920s and is now part of the Kravet family of brands. The archive of printed cottons and chintzes is among the most-referenced in the industry.

The Como-based Italian house defining contemporary luxury textiles — graphic, technical, and intellectual without becoming cold.

Founded by Nicola and Elda Fabrizio, Dedar is led today by their children and has become the textile of record for serious contemporary architecture — including collaborations with Hermès Maison.

The German engineering brain of luxury textiles — restrained, technical, and architect-favored on European and American projects.

Headquartered near Frankfurt, Zimmer + Rohde represents an umbrella of brands including Ardecora, Étamine, Travers, and Hodsoll McKenzie. The group is known for technical drapery cloth that meets European fire codes without compromising hand.

The Savile Row cloth merchant best known for menswear suiting — whose wools, cashmeres, and embroideries have crossed into the most considered residential drapery.

Established on Savile Row in 1836, Holland & Sherry built its reputation on bespoke menswear cloth and today extends that craft into interiors — wools, cashmeres, alpacas, and intricate hand embroideries on linen grounds.

The American institution whose archive runs from period damasks to Miles Redd's saturated florals — among the most-specified luxury textile houses in residential design.

Founded by Frédéric Schumacher in New York, the house is now led by Dara Caponigro and operates one of the largest archives in American textile history. Its collaborations — Veere Grenney, Miles Redd, Mark D. Sikes — have shaped a generation of American interiors.

The two-hundred-year-old American-British house whose collaborations with Oscar de la Renta, Suzanne Rheinstein, and Tom Scheerer define a certain American formal vocabulary.

Tracing its lineage to 1823, Lee Jofa is now part of the Kravet group but operates as an independent design house with one of the most-referenced print archives in the trade.

The English archive house whose botanical prints and chinoiserie patterns have set the standard for English Country drapery for over a century.

Founded by George and James Baker, the house holds one of the oldest privately-owned textile archives in the world — over 8,000 documents, many of which still inform new collections. Now part of the GP & J Baker / Mulberry / Threads group, the brand remains the gold standard for English Country prints.
