Antica Valserchio produces fabrics for accessories, clothing and furnishings for the most important brands of the international Fashion System.
The only Italian textile company that offers an orthogonal fabric production made with four different weaving technologies: from the traditional handmade Lucchese technique to latest generation solutions.
A Combination of innovation and high craftsmanship allows us to produce a wide range of high quality products totally Made in Italy.
Antica Valserchio represents the ideal partner for every customer who needs a highly specialized supplier who follows all of the stages of construction with a great level of know-how: from the creative proposal to product development, from industrialization to production.
The high quality of our products is strongly characterized by use of noble fibers that respect the highest standards of environmental compliance and safety.
For it’s size and organization, our company is absolute evidence in the Italian craftsmanship scene. The 16 heddle frames with chestnut wood structure allow the skilled hands of our “tessandre” to create unique and inimitable products.
The possibility of combining many materials is the main characteristic of the hand-cast spool weaving: from leather to fur, from plastic materials to metal, and in general many of the threads that cannot be worked mechanically, are woven to create disparate combinations which are also used for the production of fabrics for shoes and bags.
The new jacquard weaving department is completely interconnected and the versatility of the latest generation looms today enables us to respond to multiple creative needs. The internal management of the study and creation of the designs allows considerable responsiveness and proactivity in relation to customer customization requests and absolute security in their management.
The heddle weaving department represents the next step on from shuttle weaving and is structured with a view to offering a vast portfolio of technical solutions. The great differentiation in the set up of the looms allows us to respond to multiple construction needs: looms with selvedges – double beams – positive gripper – 12 weft feeding colors.
The shuttle weaving department is the mechanical evolution of hand weaving and remains the ideal solution for the creation of scarves, stoles and fabrics with characteristic finished selvedges.
The frames dating from the second half of the twentieth century represent an important historical and technological heritage.
Antica Valserchio receives the “Sodalitas Call for Future” title , the Sodalitas Foundation initiative that involves companies committed to achieving a sustainable future for the citizens of the world of tomorrow according to the ONU 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (a programme of action for people, the planet and prosperity signed in September 2015 by the governments of 193 UN member countries).
Antica Valserchio with the project “The Weavers of the Future”, which includes three important training programs promoted by the company with extremely positive results, creates a virtuous circle of benefits for the local community.
The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is recognized as the most important standard for the sustainable production of garments and textile products made with natural fibers originating from organic agriculture. This standard has been developed by leading international organizations in organic agriculture in order to guarantee the consumer that organic textile products are obtained in compliance with stringent environmental and social criteria applied at all levels of production, from the collection of natural fibers in the field to subsequent manufacturing phases, up to the labeling of the finished product.

The RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) is considered the standard for wool with the greatest focus on animal welfare which provides for the management of sheep in respect of their five freedoms.
In fact, this standard guarantees that wool from farms managed in compliance with strict criteria aimed at animal welfare and the reduction of the environmental impact is correctly identified and traced through all phases of the production cycle.

The GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certifies products obtained from recycled materials obtained in compliance with environmental and social criteria extended to all stages of the production chain.
This standard promotes responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector at an international level, recognizing the fundamental importance of recycling for the growth of a production and sustainable consumption model, aiming to encourage the reduction of the consumption of resources (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and to increase the quality of recycled products.

UNI ISO 45001 “Management systems for health and safety at work” is the first international standard to define the minimum standards of good practice for the protection of workers worldwide. It establishes a framework to improve safety, reduce risks in the workplace and improve the health and well-being of workers, thus allowing to increase health and safety performance.

To the traditional characteristics of appearance, softness, color and design that have always characterized the Antica Valserchio product, a new and fundamental qualitative element is added to prevent bacteria and viruses from staying on the surface.
Through the collaboration with the Swiss company Heiq, a leader in technological innovation for the treatment of fabrics, Antica Valserchio is now able to offer products with effective properties against the contamination and transmission of viruses and bacteria that use fabrics as a hosting surface.
This formula is added to the fabric with an advanced technological process, leaving the physical, chemical and softness characteristics of the product unaltered.
With this partnership, the Product evolves, further raising the already very high quality of the product range and enriching them with specific functions.
With this partnership we further raise the quality of the product range by enriching it with functional elements

Project co-financed by
POR FESR Toscana 2014-2020
ASSE 3 AZIONE 3.1.1. sub-azione 3.1.1a3)
Project “Antica Valserchio Investimenti 2021”
The investment made allows to have a better working environment in terms of quality of life of the operators and with a higher level of safety thanks to a lower presence of textile residues that can cause fires. In fact, the processing of woolen yarns releases dust into the environment which entails a high operating cost for cleaning the premises. Therefore, with this project, a double advantage will be achieved: a reduction of up to 60% of cleaning costs and a safer environment.

With the T&S project, Antica Valserchio has obtained patents on innovative technologies and materials in order to create a production process characterized by the possibility of making a textile product identifiable and traceable.
The production process carried out, characterized by the use of nanotechnologies and ad hoc processes, had as its objective a potential element of fight against product counterfeiting, a problem currently very much felt in the world of tailoring and high fashion.
Project results:
A patent that concerns the obtainment of a 2D piezochromic and piezo / photochromic fluorescent nano-structuring pigment used as a tracer to uniquely mark and / or identify fibers and / or yarns and / or fabrics and / or garments also intended hereinafter as textile accessories for clothing.
A patent relating to textile products dyed with the cold dyeing method, in the presence of intelligent pigment, of fluorescent dyes and / or optical brighteners, which are used as tracers to uniquely mark and / or identify fibers and / or yarns and / or fabrics and / or garments, also intended hereinafter as textile accessories for clothing and to make a textile accessory for clothing with high visibility and light fastness.
A patent relating to textile products dyed with the cold dyeing methods, in the presence of dyes and / or intelligent piezochromic and fluorescent pigments with high visibility to produce the so-called NEON or FLUO textile products.
The project was co-financed by the Tuscany Region for 536,968.82 euros.
