TEXTILE CONSERVATION

At Fabric of Life, we offer specialist textile conservation services across Australia and internationally. From our Adelaide studio, we help you preserve, restore, and display treasured textiles—whether heirlooms, cultural artefacts, or contemporary pieces.

Our treatments span a wide variety of textiles from diverse cultures, regions, and historical periods. We care for items of beauty, sentiment, and significance so they can be enjoyed by generations to come.

• Asian ikats, batiks, and handwoven cloth

• Samplers, embroidery, tapestries

• Flags, banners, ecclesiastical textiles
