  • There are huge benefits to using environmental, natural, sustainable and organic fabrics. All the fabrics we use are derived from plants, so have a lovely feel, take dyes well and are strong. The dyes we use are natural so have a strong resistance to being bleached or changing colour in the sun. The cotton velvets we use are incredibly soft, luxurious and indulgent, and wonderful to sit on or hold in your hands when you open and shut your curtains.

    And using sustainable fabrics is good for the earth and therefore for us.
