We know how daunting buying textiles online can be…
The very nature of our business relies heavily on colour and texture. Both of which can be hard to translate via a computer screen. Though we try our best, there will always be factors beyond our control.
We welcome shop visitors but we please ask for you to book an appointment.
There are a few reasons why we do this…
- We want you to have the best experience possible. Give you dedicated time to understand your project and fabric requirements, so we can offer you our best advice, knowledge and expertise, free from distractions.
- We love to get to know our customers, hear travel stories, and talk about shared experiences. Whatever the topic...Africa, textiles, family, history, travel, sewing.
- We are also a young family. The appointment system allows us to manage our time better. Giving us freedom to choose when we dedicate time to the business, when we have family time and (most importantly) when best to schedule buying trips to Africa!
Thank you for your understanding.
