Tessitura GIAQUINTO, WEAVING SINCE 1923

Artisanal Weaving in Salento


For three generations, we have passionately carried on the tradition of artisan weaving.
Every step of production — from the selection of natural yarns to the creation of Jacquard fabrics, including cutting and sewing — takes place entirely in our weaving workshop in Gagliano del Capo, in the heart of Salento.

PRODUCTION WITH RESTORED LATE 1800s LOOMS


We don't just sell the product itself, but the entire production process behind it.

In fact, we are one of the very few textile companies in the world that still produces fabrics using shuttle looms operated by Jacquard machines and punched cards.

The extremely low speed that gently touches the fiber and the cam system that closes both sides of the fabric allow our ancient workshop to recreate fabrics that carry the scent of quality, history, and tradition.  

  

Tradition and Culture

Our daily commitment goes not only into crafting high-quality fabrics, but also into weaving into the warp and weft the spirit of history, tradition, and culture that guides each of our company's choices.

With this purpose, Tessitura Giaquinto has developed numerous collaborations in the social and cultural fields at the local, national, and international levels.
