All our fabrics are handmade with great skill and attention to detail at our charming factory in Southern India. We take great pride in our fabrics being manufactured by hand and love the unique quality it gives us. As a result, there will sometimes be some slight imperfections in the fabric; this shouldn't be considered a fault, but be seen as part of its character. All our linen fabrics are completely natural not dyed, this can mean they can fade when positioned in direct sunlight. If you require advice on the position of your curtains or blinds please contact one of our fabric team.
Fabric delivery can take up to 5–9 days from time of ordering.
Our fabrics and trimmings are traditionally woven using 100% cotton, linen and silk. All our fabrics are made
by hand and not machine which makes our fabric so unique, small imperfections should not be considered a
fault.
Please check that you are happy with your fabric before cutting or altering it in any way. We cannot accept
responsibility for the fabric once it has been cut.
Our double width fabrics are 300cm wide, please make sure you take the width in to account when buying your fabric.
Please be aware that our double width stripes are woven with the stripe in the horizontal weft of the fabric. This means that the stripe is sometimes not rigidly straight, which makes making stripes up into blinds a little less easy than curtains. If using our double width stripe fabrics for blinds, ensure the fabric is pulled straight before cutting. Our stripe fabrics can usually be manipulated back into line with some gentle steaming to pull the fabric straight.
Please do this prior to cutting or joining/attaching the fabric to a lining, as we cannot accept responsibility once the fabric has been cut or used.
Our heavy duty thickweave cottons have some cotton slubs and slight joins visible in the fabric, these do not spoil the look of the fabric and are not faults, but are an inevitable result of the weaving process.
Most of our gorgeous linens are printed by hand with each colour laid down using a separate screen, some of our designs are created using thirteen different colours. This intensive and skilful technique re-creates Susie's exquisite artwork with all its nuances and subtleties. The end result is in an incredibly special fabric.
Printing linen by hand means that the pattern may never be quite perfectly aligned (especially when compared with mass machine produced fabrics).
This is not noticeable in the fullness of curtains but when made up into blinds slight inconsistencies in the pattern may be a little more obvious.
We regularly use our printed linens for blinds and are very happy with the results, we love the look and feel of the fabric including any tiny imperfections which occur during the hand-printing process.
These wonderful fabrics are finished by hand, and come in workable lengths of 2 – 3 metres.
Each pack that you purchase will contain one cut length of fabric, and each product shows the width of the
drop and pattern repeat so you can make your curtains.
Please be aware that all our fabrics are subject to shade variation from batch to batch, especially those which are hand
embroidered. It is also particularly difficult to represent fabric colours accurately in photography and we therefore recommend
viewing a sample prior to purchase.

Inspect Each Roll
Before cutting and hanging this wallpaper, ensure that all rolls have the same batch reference, are in good condition, have
no shade variation and that no other faults are present. Please ensure that there are enough rolls to complete the job.
Do not assume that the wallpaper will come off the roll the correct way up. Always refer to the pattern book or check
with the retailer. Examination before hanging is the buyer’s responsibility. No claim can be accepted for hanging
incorrect wallpapers or after wallpapers have been cut and hung showing defects which were apparent at the time of hanging.

Fabrics, Trimmings, Curtains, Linen & Cushions
Our unique fabrics are dyed using natural dyes - our Embroidery and Applique fabrics are lovingly handmade.
Due to the delicate nature of our fabrics we recommend caring for these products
by lightly vacuuming using an upholstery nozzle (soft brush) to prevent a build-up of dust. In the unfortunate
event that the fabric gets stained, try to dab the stain as promptly as possible using a dry absorbent kitchen
towel or clean cloth. For tricky stains gently wipe clean with a damp cloth. To avoid water marks ensure
excess water is removed from the cloth. If using an upholstery cleaning product, please read the instructions
carefully and ensure they are suitable for silk, cotton or linens and always pre-test on a small discreet
area. Although some of our customers gently handwash our plain or striped cotton cushions, we recommend professional dry cleaning only, for all our fabric, trimmings, curtains and cushions.
Remember to plump up your cushions regularly to keep their shape and prevent the feathers from migrating!
