Meet the Maker behind Bruder & Co
MEET THE MAKER BEHIND THE MOST LUXURIOUS, WOVEN, BELGIAN LINENS, BRUDER & CO.
Based in the city of Antwerp in Belgium, Bruder & Co is a family owned and run textile house that has been operating since 1988. Now managed by Alexandra Bruder, her father originally started the company with a focus on exquisite handcrafted textiles in textural weaves and simple patterns.
Bruder is made up of a small, dedicated team that will always ensure their customers and partners feel that they are part of the Bruder Family. Alexandra draws inspiration from travel, fashion and her own personal taste, and over the past 15 years have expanded to producing custom, handmade rugs in Nepal and India, each one holding unique beauty.
Despite evolving trends and market fluctuations, Bruder & Co remains resolute in upholding the values that have been with them from the very start, letting the integrity and quality of the yarn they use, along with their expert craftsmanship, speak for themselves, while their designs handle the rest.
Adding to their charm is the authenticity of the woven fabric that allows the pattern to be driven by the type of weave, yarn, or colour.
Here at Style Rev, we are a huge believer in celebrating the imperfections. Bruder & Co hold the same beliefs
Since we work with natural fibres, imperfections are part of the game. Our products are woven on very old mills and our rugs are completely handmade. This contributes to the charm and the uniqueness of the product. We always tell that to our customers.
Can you share with us a story or usage of your products that is a little out of the ordinary?
One of our more emblematic customers in the early days of Bruder Fabrics was Axel Vervoordt. He defined new standards in Interior design and we were lucky to be part of that as a major fabric supplier. Through him we also had the chance to supply for a lot of exclusive projects. Nowadays, we work with the best Interior Designers from all over the world. Being from Belgium we have to mention Vincent Van Duysen but the list is long and we could tell you about the great designers from Paris, London, New York etc….
