About

I created Maison Elhoria in 2017 following lots of interest for my Basque products at the school fair, which opened my eyes to the potential for beautiful and traditional Basque homewares in the UK.

Through Maison Elhoria, I offer authentic, traditional Basque inspired artisan woven textile products, manufactured in the north of England. I applied the ethos of the Basque region to my design and manufacturing process here in the UK, with a real focus on tradition, quality, colour and a pride in local resources.

Mighty oaks from small acorns grow - from selling my own recipe pork Pȃtė de Campagne at the school Christmas fair, to distributing a collection of Basque items across the UK, Maison Elhoria has grown and evolved substantially over the past years. I moved away from importing cloth and small numbers of traditional textile kitchen accessories from my home Basque village and began working with one of England’s last remaining traditional mills and manufacturers in Lancashire and Yorkshire, giving my French-inspired products an solid British foundation.

The Basque Country has seven provinces, three in France and four in Spain. It is a beautiful region of hills, mountains and sea, set between the south west of France and the north west of Spain. It is a very traditional area, where different generations still live under the same roof and products are created with passion and integrity, I’m proud of my Basque roots and knew that these traditional methods of weaving, based on craftsmanship and manufacturing locally, could all be applied here in the highly skilled traditional textile manufacturing part of the  UK.

My product's trademark focusses on being British made with a distinctive Basque French style: The use of natural high quality organic and recycled yarns as well as the best of Britain’s long lasting textile expertise make Maison Elhoria a truly sustainable brand, focussed on being part in  preserving  our environmental and economic  future.
