The Maison Coudurier Fructus et Descher was a preeminent French silk manufacturer that played a vital role in the high-fashion industry of the 20th century. 

Founded in Lyon in 1896 as a distillery (Ollagnier, Fructus et Descher), it transitioned into textiles through a 1905 merger with the Parisian maison Coudurier. This union established the firm as a specialist in luxury fabrics, including silks, velvets, and high-fashion textiles.
