“In 1985 our Company Volart Encajes bought it’s first Karl Mayer Jaquardtronic machine and started a collection of designs with Orchard & Clarke which would one year later become Watkin and West.
Offers were received to change to other drafting partners but values such as trust, leadership ,confidence, professionalism and kindness prevented us from changing.”
“A co-operation of almost four decades!”
“If we are still in the market, it is because our design and drafting have a distinct look. We have never seen ourselves selling meters but rather selling lace for fashion and illusion and to achieve this, Watkin and West have contributed all this time.
The result is 37 years of collaborating together showing every season innovative patterns that our pret-a-porte and haute couture customers expect us to do. I am proud to have lived through these nearly four decades with Watkin and West.”
