Boyac importer and wholesaler of European textile and furnishing houses, Boyac's collection in the 21st century world of mass produced, disposable product is more relevant than ever. The unique qualities of the BOYAC range are best illustrated by a brief summary of some of those houses represented, many of whom remain under the direction of the families who established them generations - even hundreds of years - ago.

Georges Le Manach, producing silks, velvets, linens, cottons and prints, traces its history to the very beginning of the silk industry in France and continues to provide innovative solutions to the challenge of remaining individual and successful, drawing on its' extensive design archives and modern production techniques. Included in its' range today, is the 'TOILES DE TOUR' collection, originating in the 1920's, of some 50 jacquard designs available in any of 20 colours or combinations, woven especially on a 1.00m minimum order.

The Luigi Bevilacqua company from Venice has recently completed an exhibition of its' vast archives of handmade velvets and silks at the Doge’s Palace and is one of the last remaining companies in the world to produce hand made cut silk velvets on the original 17th century looms, as well as the most fabulous, exotic lampas, jacquards, velvets and damask.

Le Crin - part of the textile division of Hermes, France, is one of only two workshops in the world, producing handwoven horsehair cloth in the same beautiful, labour intensive way it was 150 years years ago, but with breathtaking contemporary designs.

Watts of Westminster, Veraseta, Pansu, Destombes, Creation SAT, Declercq, Garin - all have a proud history of producing some of the most beautiful textiles in the world for some of the finest houses in the world, and continue to do so today using the best practice and techniques available to them.

In a world where textile production in general continues to contract to the mass producers, there are several shining examples of dazzling new talent who have entered the market and, in a relatively short time, joined the ranks of the world's design leaders: Colony from Rome, established approximately 30 years ago, is today renowned as the producer of the most extraordinarily beautiful jacquards - new designs drawn from history, but exciting, fresh and unique.

Metaphores and Verel de Belval, under the direction of Olivier Nouiry has again and again, set the trends which many lesser houses have tried to emulate. Bernie De le Couna and Domique Kieffer stand alone as examples of uncompromising integrity in the realisation of their unique collections which challenge the concept of what is new in textile - often classically simple, sometimes complex, luxurious weaves in pure linens, silk, paper, cotton in the most beautiful subtle shades imaginable.

New houses in the BOYAC range - Brochier from Ratti – Italy, producing exquisite, intricate prints and weaves, and Toiles de Mayenne from France with the most wonderful range of inexpensive cotton weaves and prints complete the BOYAC story for the moment.
