Overview

Creating Exclusive Collectible Textiles for Interiors & Fashion • Cashmere & Luxury Fibers • Bespoke Commissions for Brands, Designers & Individuals Believing that in an increasingly globalized and standardized world, the true value of things lies more than ever in the matter and in the craft, I created In Tweed We Trust to offer fabrics of high textile emotion, alive and vibrant, woven with exceptional fibres. I design and weave fabrics in unique or very limited series, customizable, for fashion or interior decoration, that I weave entirely by hand from noble animal fibers (rare wools, Scottish and Italian cashmeres, alpaca, yak, vicuna, arctic qiviut...), drawing many patterns from old weavers' notebooks. This choice of manual production allows me to propose personalized fabrics, imagined from a place, a work of art, or even a story, a life path. Driven by the desire to rediscover forgotten textile emotions, I also work with a very particular care the "hand" of my creations, in order to give all its place to the tactile and sensory dimension of the fabric, beyond its only graphic dimension. My work is visible on my website (intweedwetrust.fr) and my Instagram account intweedwetrust, as well as during the In Tweed We Trust "Pop Up Ateliers", during which I install my loom in a light and ephemeral way in prestigious addresses. I was also pleased to have been selected as one of the winners of the Young Talents 2020 prize of the Ile-de-France Regional Chamber of Trades and Crafts. - Mathieu Le Traon - September 2020
