History of the Alexandre Turpault brand

Alexandre Turpault created his company in Cholet, at the heart of a region with a long textile producing tradition, in 1847. He combined the weaving of linen and linen-cotton with a manufacturing workshop, and became renowned for his expertise, the quality of his weaving and the whiteness of his linen.

For many years, Alexandre Turpault was one of the major players in the luxury market. He won awards in 1878 and 1889 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, receiving a silver medal and a gold medal for the quality of his textiles. At the beginning of the 1930s, he supplied table linen for the famous steamship the 'Normandie', with splendid damask tablecloths.

Initially specialising in handkerchiefs (such as the famous handkerchiefs from Cholet) and tea towels, Alexandre Turpault diversified its range of products with the introduction of bed linen and table linen.

In 1999, the company was taken over by the Vanderschooten Group, the third largest French manufacturer of household linen, located in Nieppe in northern France.

Today, Alexandre Turpault is a top-of-the-range household linen brand renowned throughout the world.

The Alexandre Turpault Brand - our world

Alexandre Turpault fabrics

Since the company's beginnings, Alexandre Turpault has worked with linen, the oldest fibre in the world, a noble material with different qualities.

Environmentally friendly and natural, linen fibre is cultivated with very few chemical fertilisers, enabling it to be completely recyclable.

Comfortable, linen is an insulating material that regulates temperature, absorbs moisture, and gives you a feeling of freshness. Its anti-static nature provides you with antibacterial and anti-allergenic properties. In this way, linen does not irritate your skin. Its unique anti-stress feature promotes your psychological and physical wellbeing and guarantees you healthy and pleasant nights.

Durable and hard-wearing, Alexandre Turpault linen has excellent dimensional stability and does not stretch out of shape or pill. It becomes more attractive over time and the more you wash your linen, the more beautiful, radiant, soft and pleasant it will become. Let yourself be carried away by the magic and beauty of linen, and enjoy your Alexandre Turpault linen every day.

Since 2004, Alexandre Turpault has opened up new horizons with a new fabric, cotton satin.

Cotton, the flower of the cotton plant, is the most commonly produced fibre in the world. It is renowned for its comfort, its softness and its lightness.

Alexandre Turpault cotton satin is 100% Egyptian cotton, famous throughout the world for its quality and the length of its fibres. Its delicate manufacturing process makes Alexandre Turpault cotton satin smooth and silky to the touch while remaining durable and hard-wearing.

Alexandre Turpault also offers you a range of linen made from linen-cotton.

Made from 48% linen and 52% cotton, our linen-cotton combines the properties of both fibres.
