Yapatkwa was born out of passion for textiles and textile design by Sabine and Tom who both have more than 25 years of experience in home textiles, mostly jacquard woven, an industry in which Flanders (northern part of Belgium) is definitely standing out from the crowd. Sabine as a talented textile designer and Tom as an experienced trader decided to join hands and put their shoulders under Yapatkwa, with the intention to create and produce jacquard woven textiles with decorative, stylish designs. We see it as a true challenge to offer an outstanding quality product that appeals to the taste of the contemporary consumer. By the way, yapatwka is phonetic for the French “il n’y a pas de quoi”, meaning “you’re welcome”, which is what Sabine and Tom like to say when their customers say thanks for offering a great product.
