De Poortere Frères is a Belgian designer and producer of upholstery and decoration velvets for the high-end home and contract market. Our fabrics are all made in Belgium, in the heart of Europe. Warping, weaving, dyeing, finishing and final control are all important parts of our core business, which all take place in our factory in Mouscron.
De Poortere mainly produces velvets in 100% (IFR) polyester. De Poortere's velvets have a broad range of different looks: crushed, plain, mat, shiny, slub yarns, short pile, high pile... De Poortere is also specialized in developing custom colours in its in-house lab and in making its fabrics flame retardant, easy to clean and durable. Moreover, all De Poortere fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified.
Bearing in mind our environment, a large part of the velvets are recyclable after use. De Poortere has also developed several velvets made with 100% european recycled polyester derived from post-consumer plastic bottles.
In addition to its fabrics, De Poortere has developed an easy to apply luxurious velvet wall covering. This luxurious wall covering has different looks, a seemingly endless play of colours and the fine and soft feel of a real velvet.
De Poortere offers excellence in quality, variety, reactivity and flexibility.
