cloth

cloth fabric: real material for the home

cloth has been making screen printed textiles by hand since 1995. We mainly work with hemp and linen, creating contemporary fabric collections with a strong look and a relaxed natural feel. Our textiles are used for upholstery and soft furnishings in residential and commercial interiors.

cloth is a small independent company with a staff of five. Julie Paterson is the owner and designer, Martine oversees production, Justine manages wholesale and trade and Kate is front of house with Kristen making.

the design process

Julie prototypes and develops all the designs in her beachside workshop in Sydney, beginning the process with drawings and paintings inspired by the local landscape. As a starting point, Julie paints on wood for the design development, some of these paintings are translated into printed prototypes which form the basis for new designs.

The work is produced in short runs by hand in a tin shed in country NSW. This small batch production method is an important part of the distinctive cloth character and allows for a controllable low impact approach to manufacturing and materials.

retail, trade and wholesale

Our showroom is located at Shop One, 35 Buckingham Street, Surry Hills, Sydney and we are open to trade and public.

From here you can see and buy our fabric and product ranges, Julie's paintings, remnants, one off samples and more.

We are open Monday to Friday 10am - 5.30pm, Thursday open to 6:30pm and Saturday 10am - 3pm.
