IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ
I would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and wishes for Keith. He has been so desperately ill but after all kinds of tests and treatments and finally major surgery I can finally say he is much better though still not fully recovered. We will know more when we see the surgeon/oncologist on November 5th.
I will be re-opening the shop in the next couple of weeks. Sam and I are getting ourselves organised at the moment. The only show I will be attending this year is the Kensington Christmas show on November 30th. We don't know yet if Keith will be with me or not. I hope so because he loves going to the shows and meeting all our lovely customers - so fingers crossed everyone!!!
I would also like to point out here that because I have so many fabrics I can't possibly take them all to the shows I attend. If you are going to a show that I am attending and there is a fabric that you particularly want to see then please contact me quoting the stock number. If you could give me as much notice as possible please. 3 days or less and I can't promise to bring it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You will find lots of new fabrics to choose from with more being added over the coming weeks. For those of you who have never bought from me before all the fabrics are cut 33cm X 28cm - 13" X 11" unless otherwise stated. Often the Indian silk Brocades are perhaps up to 1/2cm shorter on one measurement but this is made up for on the second. For example: 34cm X 27.5cm.
ALL of the Japanese fabrics are KIMONO fabrics and ALL are VINTAGE. The one drawback with this is that "VINTAGE" means that what I have is all there is and once it's gone - that's it - there is no more.
Please allow up to approximately 3 - 7 days for your order to be dispatched. Rest assured it will be done as quickly as possible.
BROWSING TIP:
I am working with my Website provider to try and resolve the annoying problem of the "back" button. Until this is fixed I would suggest that any fabric that you are interested in viewing in close-up, "right click" on the picture and then click "open in new tab" or "open in new window" then when you have finished browsing you can take a closer look at the ones you have selected before you decide to buy. I am really sorry for the inconvenience and hope to sort it soon.
SAMPLES:
I will no longer be sending out samples unless it is absolutely necessary, in which case please e-mail me direct.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
It's been a long time coming but we have finally added international postage to the Website. Each region and weight has had to be painstakingly calculated and entered manually - but it's done! So all my lovely, patient overseas customers - No worries at the checkout now - unless of course your country is not in the list. In which case you need to contact me. There are very few countries that are not included so it shouldn't be a problem.
POSTAGE
I would like to put a reminder here for everyone. Ordinary postage is available to all but the option for "tracked and signed for" is also available and I would urge you to take it. I always obtain proof of postage but if your package goes missing in the post I cannot be held responsible for either replacement or the cost of your order. There are no exceptions to this.
For postage outside the UK there are 2 options International Standard (not signed for) and International Confirmed (signed for)
O.K. I think that's all the serious stuff out of the way. Keep checking back from time to time - I will be adding new fabrics on a regular basis... and on that note - Grab a cuppa and......
ENJOY BROWSING THROUGH THE FABRICS!!
