Once upon a time there was a small village of Haut Vallespir in the Pyrenees, called St Laurent de Cerdans a catalan weaving factory.....

Coming from a tradition that began several centuries ago, the Catalan way of weaving was developed at the end of the 19th century. At the same time, St. Laurent de Cerdans became famous and prosperous thanks to the manufacturing of rope-soled sandals.

Aiming to preserve this great tradition, Les Toiles du Soleil rescued the last textile factory in the village and became one of the best French cotton fabric manufacturers of Catalan weaving. Using the same sewing looms from the past Les Toiles du Soleil has managed to produce beautiful canvasses with the striped patterns and typical colours and have established the company as one of the finest designer fabric companies in the world.
