About us
Even in the Middle Ages, Flemish textile products had an excellent reputation throughout Europe. Everyone envied the talent of the Flemish weavers. Nobody was their equal in combining beauty and quality.
Within this world of know-how and creativity the great Flemish carpet tradition grew. The beautiful city of Kortrijk, cradle of Louis De Poortere, became the centre of this industry.
Each project is another step, each step is another conquest...
When Louis De Poortere established the company, named after himself, in Kortrijk in 1929, he could rely on the solid experience acquired since 1859 by the family company De Poortere Freres, cloth manufacturers and merchants.
But Louis De Poortere's innate desire for innovation forced him to explore new horizons. He started designing carpets with Oriental patterns which immediately enchanted the British market.
Year after year, Louis De Poortere carried on with his innovations: he diversified his collections, explored new production techniques and multiplied his creations.
Staying ahead in technology. To have complete creative freedom... Louis De Poortere has always provided all the necessary means to create.
As innovator, designer and pioneer, Louis De Poortere characterized his company with his desire for progress. Thanks to its high technology, Louis De Poortere already lived in the future.
