My dear friends
The things you will see on the next pages are not just a beautiful fabric — they are the stories of a nation, narrated by the language of drawing.
The language that we have studied for almost twenty years. To speak it, you need nothing but love. Just listen, look, touch, in weave it in your life, and you will be amazed what an enormous and kind force it will give you in return.
It defends you, you can wrap up warm in it, foster a faith and a sense of beauty, find an inspiration and an idea — it is like the lullaby of your tatik, where there is always a place for hopes and dreams come true and where the good always wins.

Design the digital printing factory the manufacture of textile products
In almost 20 years we have restored more than 15 000 traditional patterns, created about 300 textile design collections for armenian and foreign markets.
Today we are the keepers of an enormous library of ornaments which can be truly regarded as the national heritage of Armenia.
Our team works at the interface of archeology, ethnography, history, art history and design. «… sometimes we get unique, decrepit pieces of almost lost types of embroidery.
The work must be accurate, fast and precise: we take detailed photos and sketches, restore the colors and their sacred meanings, put them down to the paper and then on the screen».
Well, and after that — the genius of an artist and a designer get it, they add some bizarre companions to the ancient ornament. And a new legend is born before our eyes.
In 2018, we have opened our own direction of textile printing, and we have got endless opportunities for experiments with textile design.
And although today it is a matter of kilometers already, we still wait with bated breath, like kids, for new pieces to touch with pleasure the histories that come alive on the cool silk or the warm knitted fabric.
We perfectly understand how to make the design manifest in the full strength of its character, we know how to achieve a deep and lasting color.
We work on a last worship digital equipment that allow us print drawings of endless length and to 1600 mm wide on the fabric.
Honestly, we can talk a lot and with pleasure about our production, but let us see where you can find our incredible prints.
