Handmade Furniture Fabric Guide
Our fabric collections consist of handpicked fabrics from the finest mills in Britain, Belgium and Italy. We understand that choosing your fabric is about more than just the colour and texture, so we’ve worked hard to find beautiful fabrics that are also hard-wearing and, in some cases, stain resistant. Discover our collections below and explore our curated edit of handpicked fabrics.
If you have a busy household then we’d recommend our House collection. With high rub counts and made from 100% manmade fibres, this collection will stand the test of time whatever family life throws at it.
A rub count is an industry test whereby a fabric is rubbed by a machine thousands of times to see how long it lasts. Anything over 10,000 is considered best in class.
Our Signature collection is a curated selection of fabrics composed of natural and manmade fibres. From cottons through to leathers and prints, these beautiful fabrics are as stylish as they are durable.

We understand that choosing your fabric is about more than just the colour and texture, so we’ve worked hard to find beautiful fabrics that are also hard-wearing and, in some cases, stain resistant. We test the durability of our fabrics using the famous rub count test, where a little machine rubs the fabric thousands of times. A rub count over 10,000 is considered top of its class, so as you can see from the lists below all our fabrics are incredibly durable.

MACHINE & HAND WASHING
If your fabric can be machine washed please ensure this is done on a gentle, 30 degree cycle using a mild detergent and no bleaches or fabric conditioners. Hand washing should take place in cool water again with mild detergent. Allow the covers to air dry until they are 80% dry, before putting them back onto the cushion inserts to finish drying. Please note, if your order was placed before October 2019 you should contact us to check that the washing instructions shown above are still applicable to your fabric before proceeding.
FIBREGUARD & STAIN RESISTANCE
If your chosen fabric has a built-in stain resistance, including FibreGuard stain guard, then common household stains are easily removed with water, with no need to remove any cushion covers.
STAINGARD PROTECTION
We offer Staingard Protection on all our fabrics. This protection plan is for 5 years and covers your furniture against accidental spills, stains, pet scratches, damage and more.
STUBBORN STAINS
If you have a fabric with built in stain resistance, or a Staingard Protection policy, then simply follow the links above if you are faced with a stubborn stain. If your fabric doesn’t have this extra protection then our experts would recommend ordering an extra set of seat, back, scatter, bolster or side cushion covers either when placing your order, or ordering a replacement set when needed. To explore this option further please call us to speak to one of our experts.
