STOCK COLOURS

There’s only one thing harder than deciding what colours to use for the back and piping of a cushion, and that’s trying to find an outfit to wear in a hurry on a Friday night with the Uber on the way. 

If the cushion front is the star of the show, the back is definitely the support act and the piping the backing vocals!

We have collated quite the collection of stock fabrics to use for cushion backs and piping. Every colour of the rainbow in fact, and even a few neutrals.

The go-to is a super soft but robust furnishing velvet - available in more than 40 beautiful colours. Rated for commercial use, this is made to last. We also stock a selection of colours of high quality cotton and linen blends, and if you can't find the perfect colour from our stock selection - we can order it in for you.

All of the piping is handmade from the narrow offcuts that would otherwise be discarded after the cushion backs are cut out. We really don’t like wasting fabric and we’re pretty chuffed to say we use almost every scrap!

We should also mention the reliable roadie here - the zip; of which we also have an array of colours to choose from. This is like selecting what earrings to wear with the outfit - a very important finishing touch that we are proud to call another point of difference.

We love the design process for each cushion, carefully weaving our colour magic into each and every creation.
