Tenthorey

What they make

According to their website, Tenthorey is a family-run textile weaver based in Éloyes, in France's Vosges region, tracing its roots to 1906. The company produces around 5 million meters of fabric a year from natural fibers, including cotton, organic cotton and linen, supplied unbleached, dyed, or further treated mechanically or chemically. Its current 13,000 m2 factory was built in 2000 on a 6.5-hectare site after a hailstorm destroyed the original spinning and weaving plant. Since 2011 the company has joined the regional "Vosges Terre Textile" label and invested in new Picanol weaving machinery, and in 2019 it obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design, manufacture and sale of raw fabrics, alongside GOTS certification. Separately, in 2006 Tenthorey launched a finished-goods business, starting with reusable bags for the Nicolas Hulot Foundation, and now sells shopping bags under the Sac Citoyen brand and kitchen textiles/totes under Les Citoyennes. A subsidiary, Textiles des Lignes, supplies silk, linen and wool fabrics and custom solutions to other businesses. In 2023 the site installed 22 solar canopies targeting coverage of about a quarter of its electricity needs.
