Barcelona textile maker Texia supplies luxury hotels and brands
Texia, a family-run textile company founded in Barcelona in 1917, makes high-quality table linens and accessories.
Its products are used by luxury hotels including Ritz Paris, Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons, as well as international luxury brands.
The company is led by third-generation family member Marcos Guasch, whose grandparents founded it.

It adapted by developing its own brands and products rather than relying on large fashion groups.
