Our fabrics are 100% manufactured in and imported from Japan. We work with many different brands, in an ever-changing mix, to provide you with quality cotton and cotton-linen textiles. There are over a dozen unique base fabrics in our main swatch books, which makes it particularly tricky for you to choose fabrics from photographs only.
We primarily sell fabric by pre-orders. Deliveries to you happen four times a year: February, May, August, and November. Minimum order quantity is 5 bolts, spread across all manufacturers.
