A Century of French Elegance and Craftsmanship in Decorative Trimmings

For nearly 100 years, Houlès has led the way in trimmings, curtain hardware, upholstery fabrics, and upholstery supplies — four perfectly complementary product families. Founded in Paris in 1928, and now present in over 160 countries and across four international showrooms, the brand remains a global reference for refined finishes and premium-quality accessories.

From palaces to historic residences, luxury hotels to state institutions, Houlès provides design professionals with high-end collections that combine classic heritage and contemporary creativity — always crafted with precision, care, and attention to detail.

The Maison’s rich history, quality commitment, and impeccable service have earned it an international clientele. This is the essence of “l’esprit Houlès”: a spirit rooted in tradition, elevated by elegance, and attuned to today’s evolving interiors.

A Sustainable Approach Toward a More Responsible Future

Environmentally conscious and increasingly committed, Houlès is aligning its operations with modern ecological standards.

  • The company recently completed a full LED lighting upgrade across its headquarters in Noisy-sur-École and its 18,000 m² logistics center in Saint-Étienne, significantly reducing both energy consumption and heat production.

  • Additional product-focused sustainability initiatives are under review and expected to launch in the near future.

Though still in transition, Houlès is actively exploring pathways to reduce its footprint while preserving the beauty and excellence that define the brand.

“ Houlès represents a legacy of craftsmanship and excellence — always open to modern decorative trends. ”
