Interview with Colette Guanta
Tessuti Fabrics was established in 1992 in Chatswood by Colette Guanta and Greg Spirou. Watch the following video and learn a little more about Tessuti Fabrics and Colette.
About the talent behind Tessuti
Colette Guanta comes from three generations of dressmakers and manufacturers. Colette studied design at East Sydney before working with her mother, Silva Guanta, who to this date manufacturers beautiful garments for women who appreciate great quality fabrics and design. Colette then moved on to open Tessuti Fabrics at Chatswood on Mother's Day in 1992, where she sourced top quality designer fabrics, trims and buttons.
Emma Laue (also seen in this video) is a wonderful member of the Tessuti team. A talented designer in her own right, Emma's passion for design and fabrics, and her commitment to excellent customer service are greatly appreciated by Tessuti's customers.
