Over 160 years of expertise: the art of the master ribbon maker

"We are tiny compared to the luxury giants. However, our history, our know-how, and our creativity make us essential."

— Julien Faure, 5th generation.

From traditional woodworking to 3D innovation

At the heart of the company, shuttle looms perpetuate a centuries-old, precise, and patient craft.

This original mechanical process is now complemented by cutting-edge textile engineering, capable of exploring new territories: complex structures, technical weaves, unexpected applications.

From high-quality ribbons to the most advanced developments, JULIEN FAURE maintains the same demanding standard: to foster dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and innovation, without ever disrupting the balance.

Jacquard weaving

At the heart of the house, jacquard is more than just a technique: it's a language.

Thread by thread, thousands of intersections give birth to ribbons of diverse density and rare precision, where the pattern becomes art.

A demanding mastery, inherited from generations of weavers, which gives each creation its depth and singularity.
