Our European tour

What is Orta La Suite?
Orta embarked on a crazy project a year and a half ago! To launch a 100% European fabric. An idea that was born on Gauthier, our co-founder's, hospital bed. After the diagnosis of his leukaemia, alone in his hospital room, he decided that he wanted to leave his mark, to do something that, in the end, really made sense.
It was from this situation that this wonderful idea was born. Viscose became his second great struggle.
Come along and we'll tell you how the Orta La Suite range came about.

The creation
Orta La Suite starts with Gauthier's crazy project but also with the drawing and creation of our team in Belgium. Find out what goes on behind the scenes and how our beautiful 100% European creations come to life.

Weaving
A few kilometres from Barcelona, at Sedatex, our adventure continues. They have been spinning here since 1886, and for Orta, the company has set up an exclusive loom, capable of assembling our two yarns, both 100% Made in Europe.

Finishing
(stabilisation and printing)
Welcome to Bergamo, at Europizzi. Here our raw fabric roll is stabilised to obtain a flat material. The viscose is immersed in a soda bath and then washed several times at 60°C and 90°C. A short distance away, we visit Lisa, Europizzi's partner. Our 100% European viscose is printed by them with a quality that is amongst the best in the world, while remaining absolutely irreproachable for the planet.

Manufacturing
From day 1 at Orta, we have been very close to our workshops, and of course our production has been done entirely in these places. All our pieces come from these places, run by Laeticia (in France), Isabel, Marco, Miguel and many others. So many people who are so important to us. Because we are always looking for an excuse to visit our workshops, we headed there to show you the final realisation of the pieces of our Orta La Suite range.
