Dutel

What they make

According to their website, DUTEL is a Jacquard fabric weaver and designer based near Lyon, France, active since 1937. The company develops custom woven textiles from initial sketch through to finished cloth, covering three ranges: formal and ceremonial fabrics for waistcoats, suits and coats; ready-to-wear fabrics for clothing, accessories and children's collections; and technical fabrics for outdoor wear, luggage and sports equipment. Design work is carried out by an in-house team of stylists and a technical studio, producing roughly 2,000 new drawings a year and around 120,000 sample racks distributed to about 50 agents worldwide. Weaving and finishing are integrated at their Panissières plant, which runs 88 modernized jacquard looms. Finishing operations include tumbling, wrinkle/crash effects, printing and autoclave decatizing for wool, backed by in-house testing for seam strength, rubbing resistance and colorfastness. Sustainable fiber options include organic and recycled cotton, recycled polyester and wool. Fabrics carry OEKO-TEX 100 certification, and the company holds Living Heritage Company (EPV) status.
