Behind the Brand: Houlès
Parisian Craftsmanship and Decorative Elegance
Houlès is a prestigious French brand renowned worldwide for its exquisite trimmings, tassels and luxury fabrics that embody the spirit of classic Parisian refinement. Founded in 1928 by Félix and Lucien Houlès, the family business began as a purveyor of fine trimmings and decorative upholstery supplies in the heart of Paris.
Quickly embraced by top upholsterers, interior designers and historic residences, Houlès became synonymous with traditional French craftsmanship and an unwavering attention to detail. Over generations, the house has supplied its elegant passementerie to grand châteaux, royal palaces and some of the most distinguished homes around the world.
Houlès Today: Heritage Meets Modern Chic
Today, Houlès is still family-run and remains an authority in the world of decorative trimmings. The brand continues to design and produce exquisite braids, fringes, tassels and tiebacks, while also offering refined collections of curtain poles, upholstery supplies and sumptuous fabrics.
Each piece reflects the timeless charm and artistry of French decorative traditions, yet Houlès is not bound by the past. Its design studio combines archival inspirations with contemporary influences, creating collections that range from opulent, historic styles to fresh, modern lines perfect for today’s interiors.
Houlès’ craftsmanship is admired for its precision and luxurious finish. Whether it’s a hand-made silk tassel or a sophisticated velvet trim, every element is designed to elevate soft furnishings and window treatments into something truly special.
