FABRIC

Here's the best bit about this business: fabrics!
  • I have an ever-increasing collection of fabric 'hangers' to help you choose if you don't want to visit the showrooms - just ask and we'll arrange a viewing.
  • The following list provides details of fabric suppliers whose products I love and have trade accounts with.
  • They are all 'trade' suppliers only, so you can't buy direct from them but have to go through me (or other decorators/retailers)
  • You can get a good idea of their ranges by checking out their websites. (Clicking direct on the site name in header will take you direct to their site).
  • Some of them have Sydney showrooms open to the public even though you can't order or buy direct.
  • You can also order these fabrics through me even if you're not using Rapt! for upholstery. Just ask, and I'll provide pricing and other details.
cloth fabric 
modern Australian; earthy tones; hemps/linens
small artisan business; showroom in Surry Hills; great inspiration for mid-century chair upcycles.  (This shop does not sell fabric by the metre - just ready-made products. To see the latest Cloth range in the flesh come to the Rapt! showroom, or go the new distributor in Sydney, Elliot Clarke - details below)
NZ based but international business; RoseBay showroom
top-end fabrics, modern Aust/NZ-centric designs. Some beautiful samples available to view at the Rapt! showroom.

the original team which created MOKUM (which changed ownership in early 2011) are now producing digitally printed polyester fabrics (arguably more sustainable than 'natural' textiles). The place to go if you want to design your very own unique fabric - any images are possible!

Huge and interesting range of fabrics and vinyls - many samples available to view at Rapt! showroom

Paddington (Sydney) showroom. Another lovely selection varying from glam to folksy.
