LIVING HERITAGE COMPANY
Recognition of French Craftsmanship
Awarded by the French State, the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label distinguishes companies with outstanding artisanal and industrial expertise.
Since 2010, Le Jacquard Français has held this label, which honours the expertise developed at our Gérardmer Manufacture since 1888. From mastery of jacquard weaving to the creation of collections acclaimed around the world, this distinction rewards our ability to preserve a unique textile heritage while keeping it firmly in step with the times.
It is a recognition that pays tribute to the women and men who, every day, keep this exceptional craft alive in the heart of the Vosges. From pattern design to finishing, our teams carry on demanding techniques that contribute to the influence of French textile heritage. The EPV label thus acknowledges our commitment to quality, to the passing on of skills and to French manufacturing.
A Renowned Expertise
Beyond the EPV label, Le Jacquard Français is an active member of several networks that promote the excellence of French craftsmanship, from regional roots to bespoke projects and gastronomy.
EPV Grand-Est
The pride of a region
Rooted in the textile heartland of eastern France, our House is one of the pillars of regional heritage. This recognition highlights our role in preserving local employment and an expertise that carries the name of the Vosges far beyond its borders.
EPV Contract
The rigour of bespoke work
The label extends to our Contract division, dedicated to large-scale projects and special creations. Architects and decorators find in our manufacture a partner able to meet specifications of rare complexity.
EPV Gastronomy
The table of great chefs
In the world of haute gastronomie, the tablecloth is the first act of the tasting. Our distinction links us to the most prestigious Michelin-starred tables: linen that withstands intensive use without ever losing its splendour.
