FROM NEEDLE TO THREAD LIMITED EDITION ADDS A TOUCH OF LUXURY TO THE WORLD OF CARPETING Textile manufacturer Limited Edition offers - what’s in a name? - bespoke, custom rug and carpet designs. Driven by an haute couture vision, they are known all over the world for their high-end personalised items and professional approach. After almost 30 years in the business, the Belgian brand continues to be topnotch when it comes to high-quality flooring. From their premises in Mouscron, situated in Belgium’s traditional textile region near the French border, Limited Edition takes care of the production of their carpets and rugs from A to Z. In addition to offices and production facilities, the site also houses impressive tufting, weaving and woolspinning mills in which they can carefully check each piece that is being made. In addition, they also have their own dyeing mill, allowing them to explore an almost endless range of colours. This focus on vertical integration means that the company can take care of everything on site, keeping the production in check and having the liberty to explore and work on very particular items: “We strive for the highest quality in each step, taking each detail into account”, explains founder Katia Dewitte. “Because of this independence, we can work on a very personal level, focussing on custom projects together with our clients”. TEAMWORK On top of state-of-the-art equipment, it’s their team of experts that keeps Limited Edition ahead of the curve. A team of inhouse designers and highly skilled artisans offer the highest quality in even the most challenging designs. Whether you start from an existing model - the collection spans over 300 models – if you have your own design in mind, the team will guide you through every step, making sure the end result answers to all requirements and is a perfect fit in your project. You can decide on each aspect of your rug, from pattern, size and shape to colours and textures. Whether it’s silk, wool or cowhide: Limited Edition’s expertise covers the entire range. ALL PROJECTS BIG AND SMALL The company was founded almost 30 years ago, in 1992, when Katia Dewitte made her first designs from her father’s workshop in a former spinning mill. She started by adding colourful decorative edges to sisal carpets, and quickly expanded her expertise in the wonderful world of tapestry. Together with her brother and husband, the company now covers the entire range of carpets, from one-off rugs for residential projects to wallto-wall floor coverings in public spaces. By keeping the process in check themselves, they can easily adapt scale and supplies to the demands of any project in particular. Specialising in fully bespoke projects, they work on custom designs for a very diverse set of clients. From the head office of Dior to the Hilton & the Ritz Carlton: Limited Edition’s expertise and savoir-faire is appreciated all over the world. A passion for textile and colour, combined with years of research and innovation, have turned this Belgian crafts company into a preferred player in the field. Adopting the values of haute couture fashion, they’ve taken precision, quality and personalisation to a whole new level, ready to tackle each and every new project with a keen eye for design and an expert-level of skill.
