Les Toiles de la Montagne Noire
by Nicolas Depinois
Les Toiles de la Montagne Noire is the leading textile company in Tarn that has been able to restore its letters of nobility to traditional know-how from the region that has suffered the full brunt of the repercussions of globalization. In 2009, Jean-Claude Bordes and his wife made the crazy bet to bring home fabric back to life, woven and handmade exclusively in Tarn, by reusing the striped patterns and checks that have made the place famous. Nicolas, the son, joined the adventure about ten years later, by opening the market to individuals. From fabric to finished products, this company has become a real institution with in particular its plaids woven at the spinning mill in Brassac, the restart of looms and its unique collection of 19th century wood or metal engravings to create fabrics with old-fashioned patterns.

Products

After a lot of hesitation and a few clicks, here I am with my first discoveries of Les Toiles de la Montagne Noire: the blue bath towel with a honeycomb weave, the Carreaux Tabac tea towel and a blue Chevron scarf. The whole thing smells of quality, the love of know-how and careful work, and I must admit that this tea towel in particular is the Rolls-Royce of tea towels: large, thick, absorbent, solid, and the pattern is the guarantee of a good French home.
