Since 1787, in the small village of Sarthes located 200 kilometers from Paris, the hand-weaving tradition of crin continues, creating luxury textiles. Le Crin creates incomparably elegant fabrics made from horse hair. 

As soft as silk yet very durable, this material ornaments the most beautiful salons. 

Their creativity and outstanding savoir-faire were rewarded in 2007 by the attribution of the “Living Heritage Company” label.
