The Garín family started its business in the silk craft over two centuries ago and since then has been at the forefront in commissions for royal clothing, decoration of churches, couture and restoration of palaces. The atelier plays a significant role in the evolution of the Valencian textile industry. By 1841 the factory owned three looms, and by 1869 there were 24 looms, along with six jacquard machines, many of which are still active today, weaving silk using traditional techniques.

Garín 1820 is a specialist in the use of manual spurs, using a large variety of silk threads and different hues. The fabrics that are made at the atelier are colourful and extremely light, due to not being woven on mechanical looms. The vast repertoire of creations includes brocades, damask and velvet, made also from archival designs that serve as an inspiration to the craftspeople working at Garín 1820. The quality of these fabrics has garnered international recognition – examples are kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
