MANTAS EZCARAY

Mantas Ezcaray was founded in 1930 by Cecilio Valagñón, who transformed the production of cloths by hand loom into the manufacturing of handkerchiefs, scarves, stoles and blankets. With its headquarters in the Riojan town of Ezcaray in the upper Oja Valley region, the business uses the highest quality natural fibres, which are worked by expert craftsmen in its manufacturing processes. In 1950 it added mohair to its creations and, since 1970s, the sons of the founder have been consolidating the company's growth and expansion. The firm possesses masters of wool-working, cloth-cutting, dyeing and weaving who continue to keep the traditional arts of washing and dyeing wool, as well as finishing the product, alive.
