Behind the Scenes: Every Sample is Cut & Sent by Me

When I started my fabric and wallpaper business, I imagined a day when I might hand over sampling duties and focus purely on design. Yet here I am, still ironing, cutting, and packing every single sample myself.

A Personal Touch in Every Sample

Unlike big brands with warehouses and packing teams, my studio works a little differently—because it’s just me! Every fabric sample that leaves my hands has been carefully ironed, cut, and packed with thoughtfulness and precision.

My favourite memo to cut?

​Trio of petite dots. ​ Because I don't need ruler (the honest answer). The simplicity of that one is so pretty. What I will say is those seemingly simple small scale designs, are often the hardest to design - not as easy as it looks!

Whilst I work

I always have a cup of lapsang tea on the go while I work, and if it’s a long afternoon of packing samples, I’ll put on an podcast—usually something historical! (Lately, I’ve been enjoying Violet Manners' Hidden Heritage podcast—a perfect pairing for an afternoon with fabric and wallpaper.) ​The Emma Bridgewater episode​ especially - I admire her so. And the ​Phoebe Dickinson episode​ was lovely too.

Why Samples Matter

A fabric or wallpaper sample is the first step in bringing a room to life. I know how important it is to see and feel the material before making a decision. That’s why I take great care in ensuring each sample is a true reflection of the final design—so you can picture it perfectly in your home
