Buyer questions
- A common question
Is the orange linen in your photos the same color as the burnt terracotta velvet, or brighter?
The workshop's answerIt 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.

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

Does your smooth premium upholstery fabric actually feel like leather?
The workshop's answerIt 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.
