Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Is the orange linen in your photos the same color as the burnt terracotta velvet, or brighter?

    The workshop's answer

    It is very close. The small difference comes from how linen and velvet reflect light, not because the linen is brighter, so choose the fabric type you prefer.

  2. A common question

    My bay window has several angles. Can you make one cushion to fit it?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Multi-angle bay window cushions are made regularly. Send a rough diagram with the measurements, and the workshop checks it and confirms.

  3. A common question

    Does your smooth premium upholstery fabric actually feel like leather?

    The workshop's answer

    It has a very smooth, premium hand that recalls soft, good leather, but it is still a textile, with a textile's comfort and durability. An older suede-look range it replaced is no longer made, so similar colors should be chosen from the newer chart.
