Before you throw your fabrics away, entrust them to us
During a renovation, your curtains, drapes, bed canopies and cushions can become a collection bearing your name: for your shop, your loyal guests or your teams.
Your textiles change status: from waste to heritage
A collection bearing your name
Pouches, washbags, bags or accessories designed for your venue, to sell in your shop or to give.
A tangible CSR action
Textiles kept out of the skip and production entrusted to social enterprises, to showcase in your CSR policy.
A story for your guests
Each piece carries a certificate of authenticity naming the origin of its fabric: your venue.

2 What you would like to create
Indicative estimate. Per-piece impacts come from the life-cycle assessment of our creations carried out with La Belle Empreinte (ADEME Impacts database 2.01), compared with an equivalent new product in similar materials (blue water: La Belle Empreinte data; for the Raray pouch, bow ties and scrunchies, estimated pro rata to fabric weight from pieces in the same fabric; a 5-minute shower ≈ 60 L). Average weights used: 3 kg per pair of curtains, 0.8 kg per sheer, 2.5 kg per bedspread or drape, 0.25 kg per cushion cover; 60% of the fabric removed is considered reusable.
From removal to your collection
We take care of everything, entirely in France.

Your collection
Delivered with its certificates of authenticity, ready for your shop, your guests or your teams.
The Château Mont Royal, Chantilly
During the renovation of the InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal, striped curtains, bed canopies, boutis and toiles de Jouy were taken down. Instead of ending up in a skip, they became “Le Mont Royal Chantilly”, a very limited edition of hand-sewn accessories.
Each piece recalls its origin and carries the story of the place to those who receive it.

Before you write to us
Which textiles can you take?
Curtains, drapes, bed canopies, boutis, cushions or seat upholstery: we assess every batch. What matters is that part of the fabric can be reused.
Who makes the pieces?
Sorting is done by a sheltered workshop in the Oise, design in Chantilly and sewing in social-enterprise workshops in Hauts-de-France.
What happens to the collection?
It is yours: for sale in your shop, or as gifts for your guests or your teams. It can also be offered on our website, credited to your venue, as with the Château Mont Royal.

When the fabrics of châteaux become the memories of tomorrow
L’Atelier des Châteaux was born from a simple and striking observation: in France’s most beautiful heritage sites, textile treasures are regularly replaced, forgotten, or discarded… Velvet curtains, embroidered hangings, toile de Jouy covers—fabrics steeped in history that deserved a second life.
This is how the idea was born: to collect these exceptional fabrics from châteaux, luxury hotels, and iconic residences, and transform them into useful, elegant, and meaningful objects.
Each creation tells a story. It is handmade in a local workshop, in collaboration with artisans and social integration organizations in the Hauts-de-France region. Upcycling, solidarity-based craftsmanship, and short supply chains are at the heart of our approach.
We create sustainable and poetic gifts, designed for hotels, businesses, discerning visitors, or simply lovers of beauty and authenticity.
Giving an Atelier des Châteaux product is…
– preserving a fragment of French textile heritage
– supporting a local and inclusive artisanal supply chain
– embodying a sustainable, simple, and sincere luxury
