A textile publisher is a textile trading company that sells fabrics exclusively. This distinguishes it from the textile wholesaler that sells fabrics that are also sold by other dealers.

Similar to a publisher in the media sector, a textile publisher acquires rights to the designs , has the textiles manufactured, stocks them and sells them. In some cases, fabrics are designed or manufacturers' designs are optimized.

As a rule, they are not sold directly to the end consumer, but via industry and trade, as the goods sold by the meter are not an end product. The finished upholstered furniture, window decorations, wall coverings or clothing are sold to the customer.

Today the term publisher is almost exclusively associated with media. Textile publishers existed before the first media publishers. They are typical of the publishing system in that they have published goods, some of which were produced at home. Many fine textiles have always been an import product. In the heyday of the Silk Road , publishers played a major role by trading in fabrics.

The largest fabric publisher in the world is JAB Anstoetz from Bielefeld. Other companies are Indes Fuggerhaus, Sahco Hesslein, Zimmer + Rohde , Kinnasand, Nya Nordiska, Saum & Viebahn, Höpke, Heco and Kvadrat. In addition to pure textile publishers, there are also producers who, in addition to self-made goods, also sell exclusive merchandise. Mira-X, Création Baumann and Delius are worth mentioning here.
