Didn't Find the Right Fabric?
If you haven’t found the right one in our online shop, feel free to send us a message or call us directly. You can also use our contact form for fabric consulting. We are happy to help you and have many options to source fabrics outside our regular online assortment.
Are There Any Offers?
From our larger production orders, there are often leftover quantities that we can sell to you at a reduced price.
We also sell B-grade fabrics from our regular fabrics at a lower price. This is, for example, due to returns that can no longer be sold as regular stock.
We inform you about our regular discount campaigns in our newsletter or on our social media channels on Instagram & Facebook!
