Hautex is a wholesaler and distributor specializing in crafts from Madagascar, bringing the island’s traditional handiwork to professional buyers in France and internationally. Based in Excideuil, in the Dordogne-Perigord region, the company sources its products from the Antananarivo area. Hautex works directly with local artisans who sell at the capital’s markets, helping customers access their work at fair prices. Twice a year, the company visits its suppliers to select goods for its warehouse and maintain a varied stock, with large quantities available for professionals.

Its collection includes baskets, bags, raffia fabrics and accessories, hats, smocked dresses, embroidered tablecloths, children’s products, and decorative items. Other offerings include gems and stones, carved stone animals and ornaments, and objects made from materials such as wood, zebu horn, iron, and repurposed cans. The range reflects Madagascar’s diverse colours, materials, and craft traditions. Hautex also presents product information, professional prices, and galleries through its website, helping wholesale customers explore its selection and enquire directly about availability.
