Underbara tyger och en fantastisk service

Wonderful fabric - a print true to period (hard to find!) and material pleasant to work with. I needed it for a dress for a museum Biedermeier project, so historical accuracy was key. The shop Owner answered all my questions quickly, competently and with great dedication. The print arrived well in time. Will definitely order from them again!

One of the most beautiful fabrics I’ve worked with, and with a coordinating doll scale version.

Julie Gerlach

Wonderful, timely questions and answers. Suvi provided examples of colorways that represented a silk fabric originally designed in the 1790's.
