Our history has been written since 1833
Since 1833, at the heart of the Vosges, Garnier Thiebaut has been weaving French textile excellence. Born from the union of two passionate weavers, the House has built a unique reputation in the world of high-end hospitality linens. In Gérardmer, within its historic workshops, the company perpetuates a rare art of weaving, now appreciated by the most demanding establishments: 5-star hotels, fine-dining restaurants, palaces, and spas around the world.
The Vosges Roots
of a Unique Craft
The 19th century – When the Vosges shaped quality
The whiteness and durability of Garnier Thiebaut hotel linens originate from the natural acidity of the Vosges waters. At the time, grass bleaching, renowned throughout Europe, marked the early stages of textile finishing processes that are still mastered and fully integrated today within our industrial facilities.
As early as 1870, the Kichompré mill became a model of textile innovation, asserting its expertise in weaving professional linens renowned for their hold, sheen, and resistance to intensive use.

1944 – Rebuilding for a Stronger Future
At the end of World War II, Gérardmer lay in ruins. The Garnier Thiebaut factory had to be completely rebuilt. Five years later, the looms came back to life, and with them an entire textile industry that is essential to the French professional bedding sector (33 of the looms are still in operation today).

1985 – The Renaissance Under
the de Montclos Family
With the arrival of the de Montclos family, the brand regained its momentum. Paul de Montclos modernized the company and strengthened its specialization in high-end hotel linens: bed linens, bath linens, soft yet durable towels, terry cloth robes, table linens for restaurants, and more. He made a commitment to producing in small batches, combining exemplary quality and responsiveness to provide his customers with exceptional French linens in record time.
1995 – Opening to the General Public
Contemporary collections are appealing to a new clientele, drawn to the quality of the linens used in hotels. The brand is bringing its hospitality expertise into French homes.
1997 – Conquering the U.S. Market
In the United States, the brand quickly established itself in the high-end hospitality sector, thanks to the quality of its hotel bath linens, mattress toppers, and professional pillows. Building on its success, the company opened a subsidiary, which is now located near Washington.
The 19th century – When the Vosges shaped quality
Today, Garnier Thiebaut creations adorn bedrooms, suites, restaurants, and spas in more than 80 countries. This global recognition is based on nearly two centuries of textile expertise and the quality of hotel linen prized by the most demanding establishments.
With the arrival of Nikita Mulard as the general manager, the House is opening a new chapter in its history. Under his leadership, Garnier Thiebaut is strengthening its international expansion dynamics, accelerating its development in the high-end hotel markets, and structuring its offerings to more broadly support hotels, restaurants, spas, and palaces around the world.
Guided by this renewed vision, the House asserts its ambition: to become the global reference for French professional linen, combining innovation, excellence, and Vosges expertise.
