We’re proud to offer a variety of fabrics for every project. Below, you’ll find more information about our fabric types and their best uses. You can always order a fabric swatch to get a better sense of how a specific material looks and feels. Here's what we have to offer, and how to choose the right fabric for your design:

 

 

Printed Cotton

Our 100% cotton fabric is digitally printed in Arizona and designed with versatility in mind. With 90,000 double rubs, it’s a durable choice for pillows, drapery, lampshades, and light upholstery—bringing pattern and personality to nearly any project.

 

Printed Linen

Printed in Italy, our printed linen fabric pairs natural texture with lasting durability. Its elevated look and lived-in feel make it a beautiful choice for upholstery, drapery, pillows, and more. Scoop some up for your next sofa or armchair project, or design dazzling throw pillows that will make a statement.

Sheers

Light and airy, our sheer fabrics softly filter natural light while adding subtle texture. Ideal for spaces where privacy isn't paramount, they can be layered beneath drapery or styled on their own as full-length curtains or cafe curtains.
