The Cutting Table · a common question

Are the fabrics on the listing my only options?

Also asked as:Are the listing fabrics the only options?Do you have a full fabric assortment?

A listing is a shop window, not the whole shop. What hangs there is the best-selling chart; the rest waits in other charts, on request.

The quick answer

The fabrics on a listing are not your only options; they are the most-ordered ones, usually shown as a single color chart. More charts, including a second linen chart, teddy and patterned ranges, are shared on request or through the fabric-samples listing. Codes seen in photos but missing from the chart can go in your order notes, and special fabrics can be sourced, sometimes at a higher price.

Color is easier to settle in a conversation than on a screen. Tell the workshop about the room and the light it gets, and the fabric choice follows. — Élodie

Why only one chart hangs in the window

Most listings wear a single color chart, my friends, and it is the chart of best-sellers. The most-ordered fabrics earn the window; the rest of the range waits behind the counter.

Behind it hang a second linen chart, a teddy range, patterned ranges and more, shared by drive link on request. The fabric-samples listing carries the full range, so the real cloth can sit against your own wall. Ordering fabric swatches explains how to choose samples that settle it.

Fabrics sourced beyond the standard charts are priced above them, so expect a quote first.

So tell me: what color are you really hunting for?

For the cloth itself, begin with linen and cotton-linen and bouclé and teddy, then see them on bench cushions.

A real project

Burnt orange, turquoise and a teddy the listing never showed

A buyer in the US wrote to the workshop with two sofas already in the room, one burnt orange, one turquoise, and a fair question: were they limited to the colors we advertise?

They were not. The workshop reached past the listing into the teddy range, suggested teddy color 4256 and sent a larger photo so the loops could be judged. The buyer then built the pillows like a conversation: the teddy beside velvets in orange, washed denim, ink navy and cream.

Two loud colors want a quiet texture between them. The teddy was that texture.

Five ways past the listing chart

  • Ask for the other charts: a second linen chart, teddy and patterned ranges travel by drive link.
  • Browse the fabric-samples listing, which carries the full range rather than one chart.
  • Spotted a code in a photo that the chart lacks? Write it, such as L-54, in the personalization or order notes.
  • Describe the color, material or look you want, even raw silk or a fabric from a photo.
  • Mix fabrics within one order, one code per piece.

A cushion listing shows its most-ordered fabric chart, not the whole range; the other charts arrive on request.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    I can see colors in your photos that aren't on the swatch chart. Is there a fuller assortment?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The workshop shares extra charts, including a drive link with all of them and a second linen chart. L-54, for example, isn't on the standard chart but is available: write the code in the personalization or order notes.

  2. A common question

    Could you use a fabric that's not on your chart, such as raw silk or corduroy?

    The workshop's answer

    Often, sometimes at a higher price. The workshop made a floor cushion in a pink fabric a buyer chose from a photo, agreed to raw silk for a 25 × 58 in (64 × 147 cm) bench cushion at extra cost, and made a corner floor cushion in green corduroy.

  3. A common question

    How do I tell which fabric a color code belongs to?

    The workshop's answer

    The prefix names the fabric: L is linen, K acrylic-linen, N cotton stripes, the 100s velvet, the 900s soft fabric, COR corduroy, M and T outdoor, and 0- bouclé.

Questions buyers ask next

Does a fabric from outside the standard charts cost more?

It can. Fabrics sourced beyond the standard range are priced above the charts and quoted one by one. Raw silk for a bench cushion, for instance, was agreed at extra cost.

Can one order combine velvet, teddy and linen?

Yes. Different fabrics can be mixed within one order, so a set of pillows can move from teddy to velvet to linen. List each piece with its own fabric code in the order notes.

What should I send if all I have is a photo of the fabric I want?

Send the photo with a few words on the color, material and feel you are after. The workshop looks for the closest options and sends larger photos so you can compare before ordering.
