Fair Trade & Handmade Textiles

Fabric of Life specialises in handmade contemporary and antique textiles individually selected from around the world.

We are proud to offer original handmade textiles that are finely crafted, distinctive and beautiful for use in interior design, fashion or as gifts.

We follow Fair Trade principles by buying from individual makers or projects that help to promote community development, self-sufficiency and sustainability.

Each year we visit villages that still practice traditional textile arts and select exquisite handmade pieces for Fabric of Life customers directly from the maker.These items have been hand selected on site, dealing directly with the artists themselves, guaranteeing their quality, craftsmanship and authenticity.
