A Century in the Making and Loving it
Welcome to Hem & Tassel. We are a family-owned company based in beautiful British Columbia, Canada
Here is a bit of our history, our obvious passions and exactly how we do things
We wear two hats: we are manufacturers of home textiles and importers of various home essentials sourced from reputable, heritage factories like our's from across Europe and Japan
Every family business is guided by a philosophy. In our case, it is not who we are, but how we are
So how are we?
Fine, thank you for asking 😉. What we really want to emphasize is our leaning towards desirable standards of quality of product and service. Since we refuse to settle for "good enough" in our own lives, it makes perfect sense that we won’t sell our customers short, either
That is how we are
We’ve spent several decades growing within ourselves, seeking out simple, daily-use products that speak of genuine quality and have one job: adding a smile to your life
Our Passion - The Silent Smile
As humans, we are sensory creatures. A smooth touch, a clever design, a pleasing scent—these are the small joys we sometimes don't even consciously notice. But the joy is there. Even if your face hasn't reacted yet, your mind has already smiled
Spreading silent smiles is what we’re after
Imagine this: time has passed and you’re now a grandparent. You pause, looking at a kitchen towel in your hands, and think, "I remember getting this the day my daughter left for university." That towel has been a faithful family member, serving you through the years. It’s no longer just stuff - it’s a memory - and you smile
That is how we are
A Century of Tradition (With Better WiFi)
tra·di·tion (noun): The transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation
Our family entered the textile industry nearly 100 years ago. We understand the weight of historic knowledge, but we aren't stuck in the past. Our team has fully embraced modern technology, blending it into every traditional product we offer.
Take our Italian Moka pots, for example. They are the definition of tradition, but they look like they belong to the future and work perfectly on your high-tech modern stove. Our Japanese glassware is brimming with science that the factory has put into it, since 1819. Wow!
We bring you best of both worlds: old-school soul buried deep in new-age performance
The Chapter We Write With You
Our story continues every time we interact with you. We treat every single sale as if it’s our first, because we realize you’ve put your faith in us. Thank you for allowing us the chance to bring a little bit of joy (and perhaps a very loyal kitchen towel) into your home
