Showroom on Grosvenor Street

Domestic and commercial fabrics & leathers.

Over 16,000 colourways from 10 mills, in the catalogue on these pages. The pattern books are in our Stalybridge showroom, or tell us the job and we can have samples sent to you direct from the supplier. Every range below shows its fire rating as the maker publishes it, and where there is none we say "ask us" rather than guess.

For homes: ranges run from £15 per metre for everyday weaves up to about £120 per metre for premium velvets and Italian jacquards. About half of homeowners choose something in the £25-£30 per metre band. For commercial work: fabric is specified against your brief; quoted from your project details, with Crib 5 certificates and care instructions in the handover pack.

Fire ratings explained

What the badges mean.

152 ranges across these mills are listed by their makers as Crib 5. Ratings below are as the maker publishes them, and Crib 5 certificates and care instructions come in the handover pack with commercial work.

Crib 5
BS 5852 ignition source 5. The standard for contract seating in licensed and public premises.
Can be treated
The maker can treat it to a higher standard and certificate it. Allow time and cost for treatment.
Domestic
Cigarette and match resistance. Fine for the home, not for licensed or public premises.
FR: ask us
The maker publishes nothing we can quote. It does not mean unrated. Ask us and we will find out.

Recycled and natural fibres

The eco options, without the greenwash.

Reupholstery is already the low-waste choice. Recovering a frame keeps a whole sofa out of landfill, and an older hardwood frame will usually outlast anything new at the same money. If you want to go further than that, three of the ranges we stock have something real behind the word. We will show you the mill's own paperwork rather than a badge we invented.

Cristina Marrone

Messina, Adrano, Circo

Messina and Adrano are woven from 100% recycled polyester yarn, and Circo is part recycled. Their GreenFR flame-retardant coating is halogen-free and accredited to ZDHC wastewater standards, so a recycled fabric can still be treated for commercial use.

Agua Fabrics

VerdEco

Woven from 100% recycled fibres with no water used in production, and still certified Crib 5, BS 5852 and IMO Annex 1. Breathable and bleach cleanable, so recycled and compliant on the same job: hospitality, workplace, marine.

Art of The Loom

Natural fibres, woven in Britain

Wool, linen, cotton and viscose only, with a Buy British ethos behind UK weaving and finishing. Six British woven Shetland wool collections, hand woven Harris Tweed, and the Herriot collection.

Ask for the recycled or natural-fibre books when you visit and we will pull them off the wall. For a commercial job the range's fire rating is shown as the maker publishes it, and Crib 5 certificates and care instructions come in the handover pack.

What to look for

Picking fabric isn’t just colour.

  • Rub test (Martindale). 15,000+ for general domestic, 25,000+ for heavy domestic, 40,000+ for contract and hospitality.
  • Fire safety: inherent vs treated. All UK upholstery covers must meet the 1988 Furniture Fire Safety Regulations, and Crib 5 is the standard for commercial and contract work. Nearly any fabric can get there. Some ranges leave the mill inherently Crib 5, with the fire resistance built into the fibre; the rest are sent away for FR treatment and come back certified. Inherent FR is the one that keeps its rating through years of cleaning and wear, so tell us the job and we'll say which route the fabric you like takes.
  • Pattern repeat. Bigger repeats need more metres to match cushions, arms and back panels. We calculate this for you so you don’t under-order.
  • Wipe-clean vs woven. Agua’s technical fabrics look like fabric and behave like vinyl, ideal for kids, pets, kitchens and caravans.
  • Leather grades. Crest, Futura and Nene Valley cover the spectrum from full-grain residential to performance leathers built for contract and hospitality wear.
