The factory floor at Gainsborough
Suffolk based Gainsborough Silk Weavers was established in 1903 and produces artisan jacquard fabrics. The weave house integrates traditional looms with modern technology. The partnership between us offers a unique service combining a natural dye colour consultancy with bespoke jacquard woven textile production for the luxury market. Together we have developed techniques that revive heritage alongside modern manufacturing, in particular pioneering the use of natural plant-based colours for contemporary textiles. All production, from dyeing the yarn to weaving the fabric, is done in-house. The fabrics are created using naturally derived colours that are scalable, repeatable, and of the quality demanded by industry.
