In the heart of Tuscany, Prato has historically been Europe’s and the world’s source for top quality fabrics. Rooted in textile craftsmanship and innovation, Tessile Eco-Bio was formally formed in 2000, backed by long experience specifically in organic and natural textiles. A core part of our ethos is to produce textiles of the highest quality while being environmentally responsible. We do this with constant innovation.
This has positioned us to work with big brands, artisan and small businesses, and in the haute couture sector. Being established in Prato allows us to draw from Tuscany’s deep experience and craftsmanship, as well as its infrastructure and mechanisms that render the best results for innovation, creation, and development. We are 100% local, using new technologies and collaborating with artisan laboratories. The organic yarns we use are mainly produced in Italy; any other raw materials we use to spin our yarns that are not locally-sourced come from foreign mills with GOTS certification*. Our dyes are also GOTS-certified, as well as our following fabrics: cotton, linen, and wool, 100% or in blends.
*The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
Our fabrics are used for all different purposes. We work with many businesses in the organic sector covering a wide range of end uses, from kids’ to women’s fashion, as well as shoes, bags, and other articles. We also collaborate with well-known Italian fashion brands, which paves the way towards the mainstream favouring organic and eco-friendly fabrics over those that aren’t.
What started out as a successful experiment using plant dyes en mass – an innovation in the textile industry at the time – Tessile Eco-Bio has established itself as a collaborative leader in producing top quality textile that is also good for the earth, rooted in tradition and driven by innovation. We see a future where the best fabrics mean quality and environmental stewardship. We are committed to give you these best fabrics.
