Glant Textiles

What Glant Textiles does

Glant Textiles is a privately held, family-owned textile design company founded in 1976 by Gary Glant and headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company designs, produces, and distributes approximately 2,000 SKUs of high-end furnishing fabrics — spanning Texture, Linen, Porta Via (and Porta Via Drapery and Porta Via Performance), Velvet & Mohair, Wool, Boucle, Trevira, Chenille, Faux Leather, Outdoor, and Sheer & Drapery — primarily through a to-the-trade wholesale channel serving luxury interior designers and specifiers in residential, hospitality, marine, and aviation projects. Production is vertically integrated through Glant's owned-and-operated mill in Bergamo, Northern Italy (acquired in the 1990s as Texital), where skilled artisans weave cotton, linen, silk, viscose, wool, Trevira, and acrylic into plain and jacquard constructions, including proprietary Trevira CS flame-retardant lines and the immersion-treated Porta Via Performance category.

The business monetizes through (a) trade wholesale via a login-gated B2B catalog at glantcatalog.glant.com, showroom direct sales in Seattle and Paris, and historical showroom-group representation (Kneedler-Fauchere), and (b) direct-to-consumer sales of luxury handbags under the Adam Glant sub-brand launched in 2019 via adamglant.com. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the catalog is gated to designers and trade accounts. The collection is refreshed through semi-annual seasonal drops (Spring/Autumn) plus category-specific lookbooks, and the brand is sustained by sustained editorial coverage in A-list shelter publications (Architectural Digest, Veranda, House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Milieu, Luxe) and a 50-year heritage that includes a MoMA collection placement (c.1980). Leadership transitioned to a multi-generational structure when Adam Glant joined as President in 2011 and later launched the Adam Glant Bags division in 2019.

Core offering

Glant Textiles is a textile design and manufacturing house that designs, produces, and wholesale-distributes approximately 2,000 SKUs of high-end upholstery and drapery furnishing fabrics — including cotton, linen, silk, viscose, pure wool, Trevira, acrylic, chenille, boucle, velvet, mohair, faux leather, and Outdoor constructions — from its owned-and-operated mill in Bergamo, Northern Italy. The company sells primarily to the trade through a login-gated catalog, Seattle and Paris showrooms, and customer service, with a secondary DTC line (Adam Glant Bags, launched 2019) combining Glant textiles with leather in luxury handbags.

Product overview

Glant Textiles is a single unified product offering centered on the Glant Collection of approximately 2,000 furnishing textiles, organized into coordinated sub-categories rather than a platform-plus-modules software architecture. The collection's sub-categories — Texture, Linen, Porta Via (and Porta Via Drapery and Porta Via Performance), Velvet & Mohair, Wool, Boucle, Trevira, Chenille, Faux Leather, Outdoor, and Sheer & Drapery — are construction/material categories of fabrics produced at Glant's own mill in Bergamo, Italy, in cotton, linen, silk, viscose, pure wool, Trevira, and acrylic, suitable for high-end residential and commercial use. The portfolio is complemented by Adam Glant Bags, a 2019 sub-brand/division of Glant Textiles that reuses Glant fabrics in luxury handbags, and is refreshed semiannually through seasonal collections (e.g., Spring 2026 The BERGAMO Collection, Autumn 2025 The Cascadia Collection) presented via digital lookbooks.
