BESPOKE TEXTILE DEVELOPMENT

Bespoke textiles developed in tandem with your concept—yielding a signature shade engineered for a single interior.

Noble material samples for bespoke furniture — navy velvet, rust bouclé, travertine stone, wood, and copper
FORMULATED FOR THE SPACE, NOT THE CATALOG.
MOHAIR VELVET, ON DEMAND

Defined by its rich texture and distinctive, light-responsive lustre, mohair velvet brings depth and quiet sophistication to upholstered furniture. Its dense, natural mohair pile creates a soft, expressive surface with subtle variations in tone as the light moves across it. Combining an exceptionally tactile finish with outstanding abrasion resistance, it is an elegant choice for bespoke beds, sofas and statement pieces in refined residential interiors.


True bespoke textiles cannot be chosen from a standard ring of swatches. They are developed in dialogue with the space itself—fine-tuning pile depth, yarn twist, and undertone to harmonize directly with architectural timbers, natural stone, and shifting daylight.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

1. COLOR REFERENCE SUBMISSION
2. SENDING THE REFERENCE TO OUR MANUFACTURER
3. BESPOKE COLOR FORMULATION & LAB DIP DEVELOPMENT
4. COLOR APPROVAL
5. FABRIC ORDER CONFIRMATION
6. FABRIC PRODUCTION
7. FINAL DELIVERY
1. COLOR REFERENCE SUBMISSION
The process begins when the architect or designer submits a physical color reference.

This reference can take virtually any form:

  • An industry-standard color code (RAL, NCS, or Pantone)
  • A swatch of existing textile in the target shade
  • A physical material sample (stone, wood, leather, or paint strike-off)
  • Any tangible object that accurately captures the desired tone

Sourcing from non-textile references is completely welcome. The workshop analyzes the sample directly to develop an exact color-matched formulation in rich mohair velvet.
2. SENDING THE REFERENCE TO OUR MANUFACTURER
Once we receive your physical reference, we securely dispatch it to our textile mill in Europe. This transit phase typically takes 1 to 1.5 weeks, depending on international courier schedules and customs processing.
3. BESPOKE COLOR FORMULATION & LAB DIP DEVELOPMENT

Based on your submitted reference, the mill formulates a custom dye recipe and produces a physical mohair velvet lab dip. Sampling and formulation take approximately 4 weeks at the production facility.

The development fee for each custom lab dip is $150, collected upfront as a deposit to initiate color matching. Upon your final approval, this $150 fee is fully credited toward your final fabric order.

4. COLOR APPROVAL
Once the lab dip is completed, the physical sample is shipped directly to you for final approval.

At this stage, you may:

  • Approve the color: Proceed directly to final fabric production.
  • Request refinements: Provide feedback to calibrate the tone, depth, or saturation.

If adjustments are needed, the mill refines the dye formula until the exact shade is achieved. Please note that subsequent lab dips may require an additional development fee and standard lead time, depending on the scope of the revisions.
5. FABRIC ORDER CONFIRMATION
Once the custom color is approved, we initiate the final fabric production run. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 25 linear meters per bespoke colorway.

Production commences upon receipt of a 50% advance deposit (with your initial $150 development fee credited toward this total). The remaining 50% balance is due upon production completion, prior to dispatch from the mill.
6. FABRIC PRODUCTION
Fabric production requires approximately 8 weeks following color approval and order confirmation. Each order is custom-dyed and manufactured specifically to your selected color.
7. FINAL DELIVERY
Once production is completed and the remaining balance has been paid, the fabric is prepared for shipment. Delivery arrangements and costs are determined according to the destination and order volume.
