We would argue that vintage textiles offer a powerful, uncomplicated, and one-of-a-kind decorative fix. Unfortunately, the mere prospect of the search of the perfect vintage print is enough to evoke the onset of a panic attack!

As with anything vintage, this is a start to sift through to unearth that swoon-worthy piece,……..but isn’t that thrill of the hunt?

Fabric prints and designs are often typical of an era, and we will produce and supply an array of typically iconic vintage fabric prints to cover the period from the 1930s-to-the-1980s.

We aim for our reproduced vintage fabric collection to enhance and compliment any vintage sewing project.

 

Fabric widths vary, so please ensure you familiarise yourself with the width of your chosen fabric/s before purchasing.

We DO NOT accept cancellations or returns on FABRICS.

Our vintage prints will come on fabrics such as; poly-cotton, crepe-de-chine, poly silk, rayon, viscose and chiffon. These fabric types, often produced in iconic prints, were commonly used in vintage dressmaking belonging to vintage styles of the by-gone fashions.

 

Vintage fabric has become increasingly popular over recent years.
The best vintage fabric prints acts as a window into another era: the design, the colours and the imagery captures a particular era, creating an ambience and look that often cannot be captured with modern fabrics.

Website Images:

We have taken images which represent the colour as closely as possible, however the appearance of colours will always vary slightly from one computer screen to another and to the actual fabric.
