A Century in the Making
Welcome to Hem & Tassel, our family-owned company rooted in British Columbia, with nearly 100 years of textile heritage behind us
The name says it all: a hemmed or a tasseled edge are the only two ways to finish a fabric — one stitched, one free. Everything we make for you, lies somewhere between those two ideas: refined but not rigid, crafted but affordable
Not who we are but 'how we are'.
How are we? Fine, thank you for asking 😉
What we really mean: we refuse to settle for "good enough" in our own lives, so we won't sell you short either. Every product we make or source is held to a standard we'd want in our own home — that is how we are
And, we have one job: adding a smile to your life
The Silent Smile
As humans, we are sensory creatures. A smooth touch, a clever design, a pleasing texture — small joys you don't always consciously notice. But the joy is there. Even if your face hasn't reacted yet, your mind has already smiled
Imagine this: years from now, you're a grandparent holding a kitchen towel, thinking "I remember the day I got this." It's served your family faithfully. It's no longer just stuff — it's a memory
Spreading silent smiles is what we're after
A Century of Tradition
tra·di·tion (noun): The transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation
Our family entered textiles nearly a century ago. We carry that heritage seriously for depth of knowledge, but we are also not slaves to tradition. Take a century-old Italian Moka pot that looks like it belongs in the future, or Japanese tech applied to glassware with a history going back to 1819. Tradition and modern styling aren't opposites. They're partners
The Chapter We Write With You
Our story continues every time we hear from you. We treat every sale as if it's our first, because you've put your faith in us, and that matters. Thank you for letting us bring a little joy (and perhaps a very loyal kitchen towel) into your home
