All our fabrics, trimmings and wall-coverings contain natural fibres and are not guaranteed against fading, particularly when exposed to direct sunlight or moonlight.

However, if large samples are required these are supplied on loan for four weeks and will be invoiced without further notification if they are not returned within that period.
