Tsantilis family business was established in 1919 by John Tsantilis, who took the first steps of the family business in the heart of Athens selling long-piled carpets, furniture fabrics and other kinds of textile.

Three decades later, his children, Takis and Mary, accompanied by Takis’s wife, Fani, took over and enriched the collection by importing clothing fabrics from Italy and France. Our fabrics were chosen by politicians, journalists and artists for customizing suits, performance wear and other attire.

During the 1970’s, a new fabrics store opened at Mitropoleos and Kapnikareas street. The fabrics division was passed down to John, the founder’s grandson, who then started importing fabrics from multiple European countries and India. Between 1980 and 2000, six more retail selling points were opened in Athens – Ermou and Stadiou, Glyfada, Kifissia, in Thessaloniki and Patras.

Today, this legacy and over 100 year Tsantilis history lives within us and within our store in the walkway of Ermou street. We, Panagiotis and Fani Tsantilis – the fourth generation or Tsantilis Fabrics, are extremely proud and lucky to keep this culture in our everyday practice. We draw inspiration and creativity from the past and the present and we continue our story by transforming our fabrics into anything one may desire.
