Hand-woven by the River Thames

Unique, beautiful and hand made for you

Nothing matches the luxury of a beautiful bespoke fabric, woven especially for you. I work to commission for customers all over the world, weaving fabric by the metre and items such as scarves, shawls and throws, that you will treasure for a lifetime.

There's no rush with the commissioning process. I work with you to ensure we create exactly the fabric you want, and have 25 years experience working with customers to make your perfect fabric come to life. My items also make delightful gifts for life's special occasions.

Commissioning Bespoke Fabrics

Commissioning a bespoke fabric is an easy and enjoyable process, whether you need fabric by the metre or are looking for the perfect bespoke accessory or interior item.

We begin with hand-woven samples

Designing your Fabric

It all starts with a discussion. You might already know what fabric you want me to create, or you might need some guidance. Maybe you have an existing fabric you want to work from, or maybe you just have a few colour ideas. No problem, I will work with you to design your perfect fabric. We can speak over phone and email, or if you're within travelling distance of London, we can arrange a meeting at my shop.

Creation of Samples

Once we have agreed on a project and I have received your deposit, I create hand-woven samples which I send to you for discussion as we hone in on your perfect feel and pattern. There's no need to rush this process - I normally make at least 4-6 samples and we keep working until we have exactly the fabric you want.

Weaving and Delivery

It normally takes me 2-3 weeks to weave a bespoke item. Then the fabric is finished by steam ironing and folding and sent to you. I can also provide gift wrapping and boxes, and a certificate of authenticity.

I'm waiting to discuss your requirements

Please don't hesitate to drop me a line or call into the studio, I'm happy to discuss your requirements.
