Antoine and Jean-Paul Vella

Antoine Vella is the seventh generation in a family of weavers. He is a familiar face at many artisanal events, where he can be seen demonstrating his weaving skills at the loom. Very experienced on traditional weaving, particularly carpets, Antoine is also experimenting on other products and was part of the winning teams at Premju Ġieħ l-Artiġjanat Malti 2022 and 2023, collaborating on the creation of swimwear, and a modern chair.

His son Jean-Paul started to help him in the business, and – wanting to try something outside the traditional weaving niche – he also started experimenting weaving with other materials.
