SUDBURY EDIT
Founded in 1903, Gainsborough is one of the UK’s last remaining weaving houses and the custodian of an impressive archive of over 7000 fabrics. Taking its name from the location of the Mill, The Sudbury Edit features four classic designs from the archive, masterfully reimagined for contemporary interiors. By breathing new life into historic fabrics of Italian, German, Persian and Chinese-inspired origin, the collection honours the beauty of the past whilst giving the fabrics a modern twist to suit 21st century tastes.
The soft colourways, including neutral tones, ensure the fabrics remain timeless and offer versatility to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors. Elegantly pared-back, the muted floral, damask and chinoiserie patterns are perfect for creating a subtle point of interest in any room. The Sudbury Edit designs are traditionally crafted using cotton for a durable, matt finish, offering a stylish and practical alternative to fabrics traditionally woven in silk.
