Behind the Threads

The Heart of Maison Elhoria

Bonjour! I'm Sophie, founder of Maison Elhoria, where heritage meets modern sustainable living through quality textiles that tell a story.

My Mission is create Practical, long-lasting textile products that bring joy to your everyday life, and adds character to your home decoration while honoring fair provenance and sustainable practices.

A Story Woven in Tradition Growing up in the Southwest of France, my childhood was rich with traditions. Our home was filled with inherited treasures - from family cupboards to cherished kitchen textiles that have served generations. These heirlooms weren't just items; they were daily reminders of the beauty in quality and longevity.

The Birth of Maison Elhoria In 2017, inspired by my French Basque heritage, I founded Maison Elhoria, named after my home in the Basque region. What began with importing French pork pâté and Basque fabrics, has evolved into a passionate commitment to crafting quality textiles in the UK. 

I proudly partner with Lancashire manufacturers, supporting local know how and living wages, while reducing our carbon footprint. Since my first rainbow fabric weave was ordered in 2019, I expanded the collection to more locally woven fabrics as well as recycling incredibly high quality so called 'dead stock', while maintaining our dedication to quality and authenticity.

Sustainable by Nature, Not by Trend At Maison Elhoria, sustainability isn't an afterthought - it's woven into every decision we make: • GOTS-certified organic and recycled yarns • Locally manufactured products • Woven (not printed!) textiles for superior durability • Part of the slow fashion movement 

A micro-business with a big heart, I bring French Basque vibrancy to your home through textiles.
