Why we weave

I see you.
I value you.
This was made for you.

A textile is not merely functional. When you wrap yourself in something handwoven, made thread by thread, decision by decision, you are held by the intention behind it. That is what Tessura is about.

We believe objects can carry emotion across time. A blanket gifted at a birth, a throw chosen for a new season, a piece commissioned for a wedding anniversary: these become witnesses to the moments that define us.

Every warp is set with purpose. Every weft carries meaning. The loom does not forget.

Rooted in tradition
Crafted with intention
Designed to endure
Made to be given

2026 Collection

Stories in thread

Every commission
begins with a moment.

These are pieces we have woven for people who wanted to give something no shop could offer. Each one began with a story. Each one ended as something that will last a lifetime.

Housewarming throw woven from the building facade The piece
The building that inspired the throw The inspiration

Housewarming gift

The building, woven.

They had just moved into their new home. Instead of flowers or wine, a friend commissioned a throw woven from a photograph of the building itself. The façade's grid of windows and warm timber panels became the threading draft. The colours came from the stone, the glass, the light on that particular afternoon. It hangs on their sofa now, and guests always ask.

Engagement gift

In their colours, always.

He asked. She said yes. A close friend wanted to mark the moment with something that would outlast the champagne and the flowers. She sent us a photograph from that afternoon and told us their favourite colours. We translated both into an arabesque structure in periwinkle and warm gold. A blanket for the life they are building together.

Violeta's nursery room Her room
Baby blankets woven to match Iris's nursery The pieces

New arrival · Set of two

Welcome, Violeta.

Her parents had prepared the room with such care: a world of colour waiting for her to arrive. Her grandparents commissioned two baby blankets to match. We wove them from the palette of that room, so that from her very first days, Violeta would be wrapped in the same colours as the love around her.

Two woven placemats — one showing rain, one showing sun The pieces

A grandmother's gift

Rain or shine, set the table.

A grandmother wanted her grandchild to be able to look at the table and know what kind of day it was outside. Two placemats: one woven with a rain-washed forest, pale trees and silver lines falling through ivory linen. The other with a wide golden sun, a blue mountain, and autumn leaves scattered across the cloth. Each morning, the right one goes on the table. A small ritual. A woven weather report.

Navy and terracotta lap throw draped over a rocking chair The piece

Bespoke commission

Made to belong.

The brief was simple: something that would feel at home. The client had a white rocking chair, a cushion in soft florals of navy, terracotta and periwinkle, and a room that already knew its own character. We wove a lap throw, as part of a collection, that spoke the same language: deep indigo, warm terracotta and dusty blue in a dense geometric structure, with a twisted fringe that picks up every colour at once. It was made for that chair. It will stay there.

Your story is waiting to be woven.

The making

Every thread
is a decision.

01

Design

Each piece begins as a structure draft: a threading sequence for 32 shafts that determines how light will move through the cloth.

02

Warp

Premium fibres, including alpaca from Peru, yak from Mongolia, cashmere from the highlands, and silk, are measured and dressed onto the loom by hand.

03

Weave

Each row is woven individually on the Louet Megado. A single blanket takes between 12 and 40 hours of active weaving, depending on the complexity of the structure and the fineness of the fibre.

04

Finish

Hems are hand-stitched. Each piece is washed, blocked, and inspected before being wrapped and numbered.

Bespoke weaving

Something
made only
for them.

A commissioned piece from Tessura is a deeply personal object. It can mark a birth, a marriage, a goodbye, a thank you: any moment that deserves to be remembered in textile form.

We work with you to translate your intention into a threading draft: choosing the fibre, the weight, the structure, the palette. The result is a piece that could not exist for anyone else.
