The brand named TELA arises from the fabric weaving terminology, where “TELA” (in Italian) stands for a simple fabric construction, which though simple implies a texture. In the Italian language, TELA is a feminine noun and femininity is also the brand mission: feminine and minimal at first sight, yet informed by a careful research.
A TELA, a plain woven fabric, it has always the same front and back with the same aspect. It shows itself as it is and it makes you think of a genuine product, which originates from good taste rather than being thought - conceptual.
In Italian, TELA also means painting canvas, and as such, it is an expression of a mood, of a feeling, of an art.
In the tailors’ jargon the word TELA is used to mean the first prototype, by which you get a first impression of what the final garment may look like. The concept of TELA carries intrinsically an idea of versatility, being a material which can be, dyed, printed, washed, ripped, ironed etc…
TELA is also equivalent to a new project, as a first concept to a book writer, as a white canvas could be for a painter. All this does not imply that the project is anonymous or generic, albeit the opposite, it expresses its potentiality.
