The main boast of the company is that range of fabrics still hand-produced on original eighteenth/nineteenth-century looms. Now as then, all the phases of manufacture are manual - from the creation of the perforated cartoons that reproduce the exclusive fabric designs, to the preparation of the weft and the organisation of the individual threads.

The precise and delicate gestures of the weavers produce veritable works of art, refined textiles and fabrics destined to decorate royal palaces, theatres and famous homes. For almost two hundred years now, Bevilacqua has nurtured these precious - and increasingly rare - skills, in a fascinating and magical setting where the hum of the looms and the expert hands of the weavers keep alive an art of the past which has a clear place in the world of today.
 
 

The sole Italian producer of soprarizzo velvet, Bevilacqua jealously conserves its immense archive of designs, with over 3,500 well-conserved samples - all available for customers to consult.
What is more, every year some of the traditional designs are re-presented in new and more modern colour combinations.

Since the 1950s the company has also been supplementing its manual production with mechanical manufacturing methods. Again the works are to exclusive Bevilacqua designs and use the finest natural threads, but the quality and prestige of Bevilacqua textiles can thus be made available at more competitive prices.

Silk, linen and cotton are sometimes mixed with more modern fibres, but the Bevilacqua name remains a guarantee of style and quality.
