Les Toiles Du Soleil

Our fabulous range of striped and plain canvas fabrics from Les Toiles du Soleil in the south west of France, hold unlimited possibilities for inside and out. Whether you’re looking to create sophisticated beach chic, urban casual or French country style, these fabrics co-ordinate to create spectacular results.

Woven from pure first quality cotton threads, the cloth is made of two threads rolled together to produce one final thread used in the weft as well as the warp which gives the cloth the unique canvas finish. Created by a family who have been weaving and dying fabrics for over 160 years, the staining process which gives it the vibrant colours is called “grand teint” which is a quality of dyeing that guarantees a better hold of the colors.

The cotton canvas range is completely colour fast and can have an organic treatment applied to ensure it is stain and mould resistant. It is available in two widths 180 cm wide which is suitable for soft furnishings, sofas, curtains, bedding, bed heads, quilts, whilst the 43cm cotton has been waxed treated and is woven to size for deck, director chairs, placemats, table runners, beach bags , purses, book covers.

The Sunbrella canvas is completely colour fast, sun treated and washable. There is a smaller selection in 180 cm wide, and a larger selection in the 43 cm Sunbrella. The 180cm width is specifically created for awnings and outdoor settings, umbrellas, poolside seating and perfect for boating upholstery. The 43cm is woven to size for deck, director and beach chairs.

Linen Sauvage & Luni Linen

To enable the cloth to present a casual, textured & somewhat used look, this Italian linen fabric has been hand dyed in France in batches of 25meter lengths & then heavily stone washed & therefore pre-shrunk. Each dye lot may vary slightly in colour from batch to batch. This fabric is suitable for loose covers, bedding & bed heads, fully upholstered furniture & curtains. The fabric is colour fast however not treated for strong sunlight.

100% Cotton Prints

This cotton has been hand-crafted using a traditional block method. This technique is done with hand carved wooden blocks, using several stamps per 6 meters to achieve the pattern created. Because of this process, there may be slight variations in each impression, but this is considered part of the charm and uniqueness of the fabrics. Brilliant for quilted bedding, lampshades, bed heads, soft furnishings or for bordering or lining the linen sauvage and linen luni.

Velvets – Plain & Printed
