Heritage
In 1900, Willem van Engelen and Peter Evers started a ribbon weaving company in the beautiful village of Heeze, in the south of the Netherlands. Their heritage lives on with the current 4th generation of Evers still managing the company. EE Labels has become a worldwide supplier of world class jacquard woven labels and ribbons for fashion- and other industries.

Weaving labels demands a high degree of precision (in millimetres) and this has since been made possible – even on a 1,50 meter width – with the arrival of these new machines. With a jacquard of 12.500 precision points, these are one of the most precise looms available in Europe. Along with our craftsmanship, this technique creates many new, exciting possibilities and is now available to

Viktor and Rolf: one of the most important fashion houses from the Netherlands. The designer duo made a name for themselves with theatrical fashion shows and extravagant clothing collections.
