Prelle

Prelle is a family-owned silk textile mill in operation since 1752. Curators, collectors and interior designers worldwide use their fabrics. The company still has the capability of weaving by hand using century-old wooden looms to recreate 18th and 19th century-style brochés and velours ciselé, figured velvets. Some of these fabrics, depending on the complexity of the pattern, will only yield 12 inches of material per day, and lead times for this rarefied fabric can extend to years.
