In the tiny Catalan hamlet of St Laurent de Cerdans, Sans & Garcerie, the area’s only surviving textile mill, was on the point of closure when Françoise and Henri Quinta rescued it in 1994. The mill was famous for its colorful, hard-wearing fabrics, traditionally used in the manufacture of espadrilles, and renaming it Les Toiles de Soleil, the couple raided the company’s archives, recreating its traditional stripes, while improving the production method and making the fabrics even more colorful than before. Made from a twined cotton thread, the fabric has a slightly rough feel, while its vivid colors are achieved via the ‘grand teint’ process, rendering them solid and long lasting.
