Savanna is here!

Veena 18 November 2024

Our fabulous new outdoor/indoor collection Savanna has arrived and it’s looking amazing! 
Savanna started life as a written brief: To create a contemporary, high quality, multipurpose range of fabrics. One that's tough enough for outdoor use but with a look and feel of interior fabric. Inspiration-wise we were drawn to African artisan patterns; motifs from basketry and carving, and colours from natural adobe pigments. The collection includes 2 geometric designs, a stylish stripe, a textured plain and a zebra hide pattern. Available in 4 colourways, Linen, Adobe, Spice and Jungle.
Savanna is expertly woven in Belgium by a renown 4th generation family-owned mill. The yarn ticks all the boxes: an excellent lightfastness of 7, 30,000 Martindale rubs, washable, water repellant finish, anti-microbial and Oeko-tex certified. 

Savanna sampling is in our showrooms now and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing the collection to you in the coming days. Click HERE to see the collection page, or HERE to download the brochure.

Sydney... We are on the move!

13 October 2024

Some important news for our Sydney-based clients. We are on the move! Our Palmer St showroom is closed all week because we are relocating to Shop 4, 5 - 11 Boundary Street (MAP). Please note you can still contact Angelina, Louise and Katrina with any queries or sampling requests. 

I would like to add a heartfelt thank you to our Sydney team (and builder Graham!) for working so hard in the last few weeks. It's a huge job and so exciting to see things starting to fall in place. We look forward to seeing you at our new home next week!
Kindest regards, Carol

Introducing Extraordinary New Arte

Veena 10 October 2024

Cosmic Kiss by Carlucci

9 September 2024

With taglines like ‘Anything is possible’ and ‘Kissed by curiosity’ Carlucci’s 2024 release Cosmic Kiss is bold, eclectic and opulent. The breadth of this collection is extraordinary: figured velvets, highly textured bouclés, intricate embroideries, large-scale prints and glamorous faux-silks all combine to create an inspiring feast of luxury fabrics and wallcoverings. Italian craftsmanship, innovation and modern elegance are to the fore. A design like Time Traveller epitomises this with its stunning fusion of velvet construction, geometric motifs, ombre colours and strié texture. Download the brochure HERE to see what we are talking about! 

Cosmic Kiss sampling is now in our showrooms and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing it to you.
