Founded in 1982, our textile agency established itself as an industry pioneer sourcing European wovens for the American contemporary and newly-born bridge markets. The above article from a 1983 January issue of WWD is a testament to just that.

Over the past 4 decades our firm has expanded its selection beyond wovens to include a variety of fabric categories such as stretch linen, technical wovens, activewear knits, luxurious laces and plush sherpas; as well as entirely new product categories such as Spanish footwear and Italian handbags. This has given us the breadth and flexibility to adjust to market changes, economic downturns, and the ever-changing US market trends.

A young and passionate team of textile professionals still operates from our historic showroom in New York City's garment district; from behind the wheel of our Fabric Truck in Los Angeles; and from our European offices located in Prato, Italy, all of which allow us to monitor new sources, detect the latest European fashion trends, and maintain a global perspective that keeps Paolo Blower one of the most effective and reputable leaders in the industry.
