The art of fabric

{Local}: Since 1877 The Eger family has been synonymous of high quality textiles in the local area and in recent years even worldwide. Founded by Francesco Wenceslao Eger and his wife Annunciata in a nearby town, Mussolente, the textile company has been traditionally known for its trademark upholstery textile collection.
Originally a firm specialising on cotton manufacturing, later a hand-weaving factory,the Eger textils are still produced in the local factory adopting mechanical loms in recent years. Located near to the factory is the Eger outlet, a beautiful villa with lovely garden. Here you can find a large choice of 100% cotton, cotton-linen and viscose fabrics suitable for curtains, table linen and bed linen, upholstery use.
Definetevely one of my favourite shop when at home, here, throughtout the years we have bought some lovely fabrics and made some great curtains, cushions and table linen and even upholsted our sofa.

carissima,Eger a Mussolente lo conosco da un sacco di tempo..appena sposata le tende di tutta la casa le comperai lì,ci sono ritornata due anni fa per cambiare la fodera dei divani,adoro quel negozio,ci tornerei più spesso se non fosse così lontano...Quando ci vado passo delle ore a curiosare dappertutto,grazie di averlo segnalato,sono sicura che molti passeranno a dare un'occhiata e a comperare,rispetto a Trieste c'è tanta scelta e i prezzi sono convenienti, un bacione e buona settimana...
