Yorkshire, the birthplace of industrial textile manufacturing, has long been the home to luxury fabrics cherished worldwide. The echoes of our historic mill towns tell the story of a legacy that transcends borders. At Joshua Ellis, we honour and preserve this rich heritage, weaving the essence of our county into every exquisite creation.

At the heart of Joshua Ellis lies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Our skilled craftsmen, driven by passion, and our designers, refined in expertise, come together to craft fabrics that embody both heritage and excellence.

Founded in 1767 in Batley Carr Mills, Joshua Ellis expanded into woollen textile manufacturing, adopting its current name in the 1830s. Now part of The SIL Group, it remains family-owned, dedicated to creating high-quality fabrics from the finest natural fibres. With a rich heritage in Yorkshire, the heart of textile production, every fabric is crafted with precision and care, using time-honoured techniques. Joshua Ellis continues to honour its legacy while evolving to meet modern industry demands, producing luxurious textiles like cashmere, wool, and camel hair for prestigious fashion houses of the world.

Since 1767, we have earned a strong reputation for quality textiles, focusing on sustainability, regulatory compliance, and environmental responsibility. We prioritise employee well-being with training and ISO 9001 health and safety standards, while supporting local communities and charitable initiatives. Committed to sustainable sourcing, animal welfare, and responsible practices, we hold certifications like the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), ISO14001 and are members of the Sustainable Fibres Alliance. Our efforts aim to reduce environmental impact, improve operations, and support local economic and environmental well-being.
