Our Story

After being founded in 1946 in a courtyard premises in Gårda, with 50 years on Luntantugatan and Kungsgatan, and now since 2017 in the fantastic turn-of-the-century villa at Västergatan 1, Gårda Textil is a constant in Sweden’s fabric world. 

A family business now in its fourth generation, our focus has always remained the same – quality. Natural materials, and above all silk, have always been our passion, and somehow our collection of fabrics always continues to grow.

In 1946, the range was largely based on purchases of remnant fabrics and roll ends from factories in Borås. Today, reality is in many ways different, but as a homage to times gone by, we have recently begun a new venture in Deadstock. These fabrics are sourced primarily from Italy and are, like those from 1946, goods left over from production and which we have then had the opportunity to purchase, to such an extent that they have been given an entire department of their own on our second floor.

Perhaps this is as good a sign as any that times change, but Gårda Textil remains.
