Lelievre is a world leader in high-end upholstery fabrics. A family company based in Paris which has been trading for almost 100 years. Today, Lelievre continues to innovate, producing classical designs and contemporary ones. Lelievre’s reputation has been built on producing the following specialist fabrics: velvets, silks, sheers and contemporary weaves using modern techniques. Combining the different silk weaving techniques, their factories use both traditional hand looms and computer-controlled mechanical looms. At Heal’s we offer Jean Paul Gaultier par Lelievre and Sonia Rykiel Maison fabric collections.

Cole & Son

Cole & Son has been making some of the world’s finest wallpapers since 1873. Many of the most important buildings in the world have rooms decorated with Cole & Son wallpaper, including the White House and Buckingham Palace. The company’s archive consists of approximately 1,800 block print designs, 350 screen print designs and a huge quantity of original drawings and wallpapers, representing all the styles from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Today the company brings the same exceptional standards to fabric design for upholstery.

Designers Guild

The Designers Guild philosophy is to combine creativity and innovation with the highest levels of quality. Designers Guild has an extraordinary collection of thousands of plain and semi plain fabrics that spans a variety of textures and uses - from plain cottons, linens, silks, velvets and satins to wide width sheers and high tech fabrics that are suitable for every eventuality.

Harlequin

Harlequin is the premier destination for inspirational designs, innovative textures and enchanting colours. An eclectic fusion of classic mixed with contemporary, flamboyant combined with elegant, Harlequin’s versatile ranges of prints, weaves and wall coverings offer the most discerning of customers a dazzling spectrum of products – all at accessible prices.

Danish textile company Kvadrat has supplied the fabrics used in some of the world’s most iconic buildings, including the Guggenheim Bilbao, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Swiss Re tower (aka the Gherkin). Working with a number of high-profile designers, Kvadrat’s products combine a commitment to colour and simplicity with a clear desire to develop textiles based on innovation and experimentation in design.

Osborne & Little

For over four decades http://www.heals.co.uk/o/osborne-and-little/icat/brand_osborne_and_little">Osborne & Little's designs have been at the heart of interior trends. Today the company is as vibrant as ever, creating a constant stream of new collections that push boundaries and maintain the brand’s reputation for excellence. Osborne & Little is also proud to be the distributor of two distinguished brands; the collections of internationally celebrated interior designer Nina Campbell and of Parisian design studio, Lorca.

Romo

Established in 1902, Romo is a family run business, based in Nottinghamshire. The highly respected fabric house is known for its innovative decorative weaves, imaginative wall coverings and elegant trimmings. Each design is meticulously developed from a simple pencil sketch through to a beautifully drawn artwork - or in certain cases inspirational archive documents are re-worked into imaginative new designs.

Sanderson

Founded by Arthur Sanderson in 1860, Sanderson enjoys an international reputation. The brand’s quintessentially English fabrics - often based on documents from its extensive archive - offer design innovation, exceptional quality and value for money. Sanderson celebrated its 150th birthday in 2010, making it the oldest surviving English brand in its field. Having been granted a Royal Warrant in 1923, the company still supplies fabrics and wallpaper to HM Queen Elizabeth II and British Royal Palaces.

Zinc

A recent arrival on the fabrics scene, Zinc was launched in January 2010 as a sensational new brand that is strong, tactile and urban with playful, quirky undertones. Presented in a seductive monochromatic palette with hints of colour, the new Zinc fabric collections integrate luxury finishes, sumptuous texture and modern graphic design. Zinc's unique style captures the revival of chic hedonism of the 1970s and pays homage to the great designers of the era.

Zoffany

From its exclusive beginnings supplying historic wall coverings for private commissions to its current standing as an internationally renowned fabric and wallpaper house, Zoffany retains its commitment to the principles of quality, elegance and heritage.

Can I upholster any sofa or armchair in Heal’s?

Heal’s does not reupholster old sofas or armchairs and we can only upholster sofas and armchairs from our range, and only in a fabric that we carry.

If you prefer, many suppliers offer a range of fabrics they have selected themselves in a wide range of textures and colours.

Are there any additional costs I should know about?

Yes, you can ask a member of the sales team to order you a swatch which will be sent directly to your home.
