Tassinari & Chatel is the jewel of Maison Lelièvre, and one of the jewels of the French heritage. It is one of the oldest weaving mills in Lyon whose origins go back to 1680 with the Pernon workshop, official supplier of the greatest Courts of Europe and, in particular, the one of King Louis XV.

Admiring this exceptional heritage for more than three centuries, Lelièvre made a major move in 1998 buying this prestigious manufacture. Tassinari & Chatel owes its reputation to its extraordinary and age-old expertise in the making of exceptional silks by combining traditional craftsmanship, and technological innovations.

Bold, elegant, and timeless, Tassinari & Chatel continues to weave its traditional qualities of textiles in France on mechanical looms or on manual looms, also called «hand looms». Back in 2006, it was one of the first company to obtain the precious “EPV” label - Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant -."
