With more than a 100 years experience of producing silk here in the UK, Gainsborough are one of the industry leaders for creating damask, toile and stripe silk fabrics that have been awarded a Royal Warrant for their use in Royal palaces, stately buildings and grand residences all over the world. Join us as we learn a bit more about this British treasure...
The introduction and development of electronic jacquards and design systems has allowed the company to evolve and become more flexible in the type of fabrics we are able to offer. The internet has also played a huge part in the ability to market our product/services with websites and social media etc.
It is so difficult to choose just one, as we have so many influential and interesting projects that we are and have been involved with, the one’s that we can’t speak about are the one’s that probably standout the most. The weaving of the new St Paul’s Cathedral vestments was something to be proud of as was the refurbishment of the Goring Hotel Royal Suite in readiness for the wedding of Kate and William.
The Bespoke service that we offer has increasingly become the main stay of our business over recent years due to our small order quantity together with our flexibility.
We are aiming to produce a range of eye catching, as well as contemporary fabrics. A mix of traditional damask design with the colours of the modern interior.
I prefer to have a mix of the old and new……. eclectic and contemporary work well, I find.
It’s impossible to choose just one designer, we take inspiration from so many.
Bath and York have got to be my favourites….. I just love their wealth of history.
It’s got to be the App Store!
There’s a great choice available with an interesting mix of styles. There’s some very helpful information and informative links.
