Every one of these enchanting patterns was designed in the 1900s by painter and sculptor, architect and inventor Mariano Fortuny. Known as the Magician of Venice, Fortuny devised techniques for printing and coloring fabrics, founding a factory to create them on the Venetian island of Giudecca.
A testament to his highly original and enterprising spirit, every Fortuny fabric is today still produced in this same factory, on the same machines, using the same secret process and techniques that Mariano Fortuny developed nearly a century ago. No two fabric runs are ever alike and each one ages with beauty. These are the finest cottons in the world—enduring and practical, yet instilled with the depth and lushness of silk or velvet. True to the house’s artisanal legacy, these inspired textiles are rich in history, golden-age influence, and painterly tradition.
It is with the greatest care and respect that we carry on this incredible legacy. Infused with our passion for Mariano Fortuny and his vision, we are dedicated to furthering the impeccable tradition of beauty, quality, and service long ago made synonymous with the Fortuny name.
