Order a swatch first
Every fabric feels different in person. Order a swatch — £4.00 each — and see the colour, handle, and weight before you buy by the metre.
Browse the fabric rangeSee it. Touch it. Live with it.
Buying fabric online always involves a leap of faith — but it doesn't have to. A swatch gives you the full picture: the exact colourway under your own lighting, how the fabric drapes and handles, and whether the weight is right for your project.
For upholstery especially, getting the swatch right before ordering metres is always worth it. And at £4.00 a swatch, it's the easiest decision you'll make.
Check the colour
Screen colours are never exact. See the true colourway under your own light before committing.
Feel the handle
Velvet, linen — each fabric has a distinct weight and drape. A swatch tells you what no photo can.
Order with confidence
When you do order by the metre, you'll know exactly what's arriving. No surprises, no returns.
What's included in a swatch
Per swatch
Each swatch is priced at £4.00. Order as many designs and colourways as you need — there's no limit and no minimum.
Generous size
Swatches are cut to a generous size so you can properly assess the repeat, the colour, and the handle.
Every fabric type
Swatches are available for every fabric type in the range — Luxury Velvet FR, Soft Velvet, and Textured Linen FR. Choose the fabric type that matches your intended use.
Printed in the UK
Every swatch is cut from the same print run as the full fabric — what you receive is exactly what you'll get when you order by the metre.

Swatch FAQs
How big are the swatches?
Swatches are cut to a generous A5 size so you can properly assess the pattern repeat, colour, and handle.
Can I order swatches in multiple colourways of the same design?
Absolutely. Each colourway is ordered separately on the product page — just select the colour, add to cart, change the colour, and add again. There's no minimum or maximum number of swatches per order.
Are the swatches the same fabric as the full metre?
Yes — every swatch is cut from the same print run as the full fabric. What you receive is exactly what you'll get when you order by the metre. No surprises.
Do swatches count towards a full order?
Swatch costs are not deducted from a subsequent full order. They're priced at £4.00 to cover printing and postage.
Can I get swatches of wallpaper too?
Wallpaper samples may be available — please email [email protected] to enquire.
I'm a trade customer — can I get the swatch hangers instead?
