Who We Are

The Mercery is a trade focused interiors textile brand that is building a collectively organized manufacturing hub for handwoven fabric and textiles. Our small-batch textiles are woven in family-run workshops by master artisans who share their skills across generations. We are working to close the loop for the textile industry by creating a more equitable future for manufacturing—a global network of artisan makers.

How We Started

The Mercery was founded with the ambition to preserve and nurture artisan weaving traditions around the world while creating a pathway for interior designers and justice conscious brands to source the highest quality fabrics.

We’re working everyday to sustainably and consistently redirect the global textile industry away from extractive practices in agriculture and manufacturing to reinvigorate, extend, and amplify the exquisite production that exists across the globe.

Mercery founder Liz Alspach is an artist, designer, and writer who builds organizations and forges relationships as tools for imagining and building radical futures.

She lives and works in Oakland, CA.
