Paoletti Tessuti is highly specialized in luxury fabrics. The company produces both and patterned fabrics, with a product range spanning from customized jacquards to solid-coloured and designed fabrics in natural fibres such as cotton, linen, and wool blends with nylon and polyester. From the threads through the finished fabrics, it is all an in-house process, focused on careful design, highly planned production schedule, with high quality finishings.
Strengths: flexibility, the ability to meet the customer’s needs, the quality/price ratio and the time devoted to the developing of the design and production of samples. Paoletti Tessuti creates tailor-made projects for jacquard fabrics that differ in type and composition, giving rise to solutions with multiple weights, structures, and aspects. With an in-house CAD jacquard design office, the company is able to create patterns and designs in different heights with a theoretically unlimited length.
Collaborating with some of the world’s leading international luxury brands, Paoletti Tessuti combines continuous creativity and innovation with uncompromising product and service quality. Every stage of the process is proudly part of a rigorous, entirely Made in Italy production. In recent years, the company has specialized in the production of jacquard denim, both in reactive colours and in classic indigo, becoming a point of reference in this sector.

Modularity is not a new concept. For decades, it has shaped architecture, furniture and industrial design. Applying it to soft textiles, however, opens up an entirely new discussion.
Creativity and curiosity have always been our driving force. Our work evolves through prototypes—never finished, always raising new questions about materials, processes, and possibilities.
Both the fashion and textile industry often celebrates creativity. Yet many of the industry’s creative decisions are made long before a designer ever begins designing. Colour being one of them. The thing is, by the time a designer selects yarn, someone else has already determined the available colours, sequences and combinations. Choice exists, but only within boundaries.
“Through hands-on experimentation, I explore the potential of new surfaces and alternative forms of leather, aiming to reconnect human life with the natural world as an interconnected fabric.”
