Jean Vier

What Jean Vier does

Maison Jean-Vier (legal entity Créations Jean Vier, S.A. with €485,660 share capital) is a privately held French home-textile brand founded in 1980 in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, in the French Basque Country, and led by André Elustondo. The company designs and sells premium Basque-inspired home linen — table linen, kitchen linen, decorative linen (curtains, cushion covers, throws), bath linen, and bed linen — alongside Basque-fabric upholstered furniture, dishware, beach textiles, and luggage, with a catalogue of more than 434 product references refreshed through twice-yearly collections (e.g., SS25 'Le Soleil basque', SS23, AW22).

Production relies on long-standing (>10-year) Portuguese partner workshops that operate Jacquard looms and perform specialized treatments including désencollage (desizing) for European textile-standard compliance, coated (tissage enduit) finishes for tablecloths, and Teflon-based anti-stain and anti-shrink applications. Bath linen carries Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Custom and bespoke products are manufactured on-site at the Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle headquarters.

The business operates a hybrid B2C/B2B model: D2C e-commerce at jean-vier.com (multilingual FR/EN/ES, multicurrency EUR/USD, international shipping, free in-store e-reservation), an owned boutique network across Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Concept Store, Gambetta, Edouard VII, Infante), Bayonne, and Pédebert/Hossegor, a dedicated B2B portal at pro.jean-vier.com serving resellers and interior designers, and an asset-light corner concept (launched 2019) placed in multi-brand retailers across France and Europe. Unit pricing ranges from approximately €5 (entry-level napkins) to €235 (premium throws), with brand collaborations (e.g., Triumph Anglet, Isidore Leroy, Maison Argaud) extending reach into apparel and wall coverings.
