TEXTILE CONSERVATION
At Fabric of Life, we have offered specialist textile conservation services across Australia and internationally. From our Adelaide studio, we helped preserve, restore, and display treasured textiles—whether heirlooms, cultural artefacts, or contemporary pieces.
​
​
Our treatments spaned a wide variety of textiles from diverse cultures, regions, and historical periods. We cared for items of beauty, sentiment, and significance so they can be enjoyed by generations to come.
​
Clients included individuals, museums, and collectors, and we’ve treated a wide array of textiles:
-
Asian ikats, batiks, and handwoven cloth
-
Samplers, embroidery, tapestries
-
Flags, banners, ecclesiastical textiles
-
Furniture, curtains, wedding and christening gowns

Military textiles, vintage costume and uniforms
