I want a fabric that is not on our website - can you get it for me?
We can order most other brands offered by NZ Wholesalers on your behalf and offer quantity discounts. You can view fabrics here or visit other brands here. Simply get in touch to request pricing.
What is Oeko-Tex and are your fabrics certified?
Oeko-Tex Standard100 is a global certification where every thread has been tested for harmful substances and the fabric is therefore harmless to human health.
A large majority of our fabrics have this certification. This includes the Marimekko fabrics (who are also producing many where they re-use dyes) and all of the Spira fabrics. If a fabric doesn't state whether it has Oeko-Tex certification on the description, please contact us for confirmation.
What quantities can I order fabric in?
For most fabrics online, orders must be in 1 metre multiples. A handful of fabric designs are sold per the pattern repeat as stated in the description. This is so the fabric design isn't ruined by cutting through it.
If you need a particular amount - such as 6.7m you can order this by calling us in Christchurch on 03 389 5203 or dropping us an email.
Can I request samples and how much do they cost?
We can send up to 3 samples per project free of charge. Please note that our free samples are small pieces for colour matching and designed to be viewed with the images on the website. You can request samples by clicking here. We only send free samples to addresses in New Zealand.
Will the fabric fade in the sun?
Yes it will unless you are choose acrylic fabric. The sun in New Zealand is particularly harsh so just like carpets and sofas, fabrics will fade. If the fabric is going to be in a high sun area we highly recommend using one of our outdoor fabrics. The Sunbrella fabrics have a 5 year warranty against sun fade.
There are several things you can do reduce fading including tinting your windows, flipping cushions and squabs over, lining your curtains and ensuring your curtains are pulled right off the window to avoid direct sunlight.
