Why order swatches before you buy?

Colours look different on every screen. Textures can't be photographed. And with one of the largest ranges of striped fabrics available anywhere in the UK, there's a lot to choose from. Getting the fabric in your hands first is the only reliable way to be sure you're making the right choice. Whether you're reupholstering furniture, making cushions, running up curtains, or restoring a deckchair to its former glory.

Our swatches cover the full breadth of what we offer. From classic 1cm stripes in a huge range of colourways to bold, durable interior-weight fabrics perfect for soft furnishings and home décor. From traditional deckchair canvas built to handle the great British outdoors to finer fabrics designed for more delicate makes. Every swatch is a true cut of the real fabric. The actual weight, weave and finish so what you see is exactly what you'll receive when you order.

With so many stripe widths, fabric types, and colour combinations available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed browsing online. Swatches take the guesswork out of the process entirely. Order the ones that catch your eye, hold them against your existing colours at home, and make your decision with complete confidence.

Up to 5 swatches are available free of charge. Just cover the cost of postage when you order, and we'll send you a discount code to redeem that postage cost against your first fabric purchase. It's our way of making sure you get exactly the right stripe, every time.
