Upholstery and soft furnishing supplies

 
 
Fabric, leather and vinyl: page 1

This section has three pages:
This page: upholstery face fabrics, curtaining, vinyl and leather-look vinyl
Page 2: leather
Page 3: canvas, baize, table felt and anti-slip cloths

 

Need a short length?
We are happy to supply a cut for most lines. A cut is anything below a roll length. For vinyl we will cut as little as half a metre, but for most cloths a metre is the least. We are also happy to send a small snip for colour choice.
Upholstery and various face fabrics
(For curtaining fabrics, see below: click here)
Please note that velvet and chenille  fabrics are subject to seating or pressure marking. This is where shading can occur due to change of light reflection when the pile is naturally flattened during use. We recommend that you inform your customer of this at the point of sale.  It is not a fabric fault and will not affect the wearing properties of the material.

Soft furnishing and curtain fabrics (Spanish design)

Bold, imaginative, dynamic, memorable – how else to describe this new range of soft furnishing fabrics?
Here are six pattern books, five of which have voiles and a contrasting style to complement.

With so much variety it is difficult to show you a representative sample of each, so why not buy the set? At just £17 each, this has to be the bargain of the year.
