Origins
Mantas Ezcaray is the continuation and inheritance received from Cecilio Valgañón, who in 1930 transformed the production of cloths into his handlooms for the manufacture of scarves, shawls and blankets. In the processes, the best natural fibres that nature provides us with are used, and which skilful and expert hands manage to transform.
TRADITION AND CRAFTMANSHIP
The incorporation of the Mohair into his creations in 1950 has marked his path to the present day. From 1970 onwards, the founder’s children began to get closer to the company, thus giving rise to growth and expansion.
Now, almost a century later, Cecilio´s grandchildren have joined the firm with the aim of continuing the work of their parents and the dream of their grandfather.
Processes
Since the 15th century we have had master carders, shearers, dyers and weavers.
The passing of time has meant that today we are the only manufacturers left in Ezcaray, and even in Spain, making blankets from Mohair, Cashmere, Alpaca, wool, etc.
We continue to keep up the traditional skills in washing and dying wool and in the finish.
Only expert hands are able to analyse all the processes in minute detail until the end product is finished.
