Looking for home textile (natural) manufacturers
Hi everyone,
I’m an interior architect currently based in the UK and looking to connect with textile mills and fabric manufacturers in India for ongoing sourcing.
I’m specifically looking for plain woven upholstery fabrics with a natural fibre composition.
Ideally:
• Linen rich blends, preferably 40 to 80% linen.
• Blends incorporating wool and/or cotton.
• A small percentage of synthetic fibre, such as polyester, polyamide, or acrylic, to improve durability and abrasion resistance.
The specifications I’m aiming for are:
• Weight: 900 to 2000 GSM.
• Suitable for premium upholstery.
• Martindale abrasion resistance of over 50,000 rubs.
• Plain, timeless weaves rather than patterned fabrics.
I’m looking to work directly with mills or manufacturers rather than traders, especially those who can develop custom compositions or bespoke constructions.
As an interior architect, I’m looking to build long term relationships with manufacturers for sourcing fabrics across both the interior design and textile industries. This isn’t just for a single project. I’m hoping to establish reliable partnerships for future collaborations.
P.S. Although my current requirement is focused on natural fibre upholstery fabrics, I’m also happy to connect with manufacturers that offer a wider range of textiles. I’m currently based in the UK, so I’m particularly interested in working with Indian manufacturers that have experience exporting internationally or are open to doing so.
If anyone has recommendations or contacts, I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
