Borås Cotton - bold and exciting designs paved the way
Borås Cotton is a Swedish textile company founded back in the 1870s by Borås Wäfveri. He began weaving Swedish fabrics there. Around 1900 the company had 400 looms producing cotton and wool-blend fabrics. From there it accelerated – and Borås Wäfveri over the following decades acquired spinning mills, dye houses and print shops to expand the company. In the beginning, fashion textiles were particularly popular, but over time home textiles also boomed – which also meant that textile artists began to influence what was printed.
Around the sixties and seventies the world really took notice of Borås Cotton thanks to Inez Svensson and Sven Fristedt. This was mainly due to the exciting and bold patterns seen in their designs. With dedication and good marketing through their subsidiaries around the world, Borås Cotton became world-famous and rapidly grew in popularity.
But as more textile companies emerged, the competition also became tougher. This had a big impact on Borås Cotton – and the company almost disappeared globally – except in Japan. A Japanese company visited Borås Cotton in the seventies and it resulted in a very important collaboration. Such a strong partnership that Borås Cotton is now almost more famous in Japan than in Scandinavia.
