ENRICHED BY A TRADITIONAL KNOW-HOW in the field of textiles, Belgium is a worldwide reference in upholstery fabrics. The quality of Belgium fabrics and Belgian expertise unite to create innovative trends. The tendency of the Belgian contemporary fabric industry is mainly towards natural fabrics and in particular, linen. The palette of colour ranges from purple and whitish-beige, pale green and ochre without leaving out the more sober colours such as taupe and charcoal grey, proper to Belgium.

FOR SEVERAL CENTURIES, Belgium has been reputed for it’s weaving: tapestries at first followed by velvet. SOUVERAINE aspired to continue this tradition and re-launched the loom. Initially, importers and exclusive distributors of prestigious worldwide labels, SOUVERAINE created in 1996 a unique collection of exclusive Belgian linen fabrics for upholstery and draperies. Linen, because this natural fibre can be handcrafted and is advantageous in terms of weaving and natural pigment dyes.

SOUVERAINE fabrics are “100% made in Belgium” and are sometimes of heavy quality (up to 850 gr/m²). The fabrics are “yarn dyed” or “piece dyed” allowing for an infinite palette of colours and custom-made creations that include the “Belgian touch”, characteristic of a contemporary, classic and distinct style. The range includes fabrics mixed with silk, cotton or raffia. The company presents two new fabrics annually putting the accent on quality and creativity. SOUVERAINE’s production is limited offering an exclusive range in answer to the specific requirements of its clients. Owing to unique collections, SOUVERAINE increased its presence in the Belgian market and obtained the seal of the royal warrant. The company’s plan is to extend its activities outside of Belgium…
