Tell us what you want made in home textiles

Say what you are buying, bed linen, towels, quilts, curtains, cushions, blankets or rugs, and how many pieces you need per colour. Quantity per colour is the field that decides everything here, because the smallest run in home textiles is whatever fills one dye lot, and a range with six colours is a much larger commitment than the same money in six garment styles. You get an honest answer on whether your quantity clears a lot before you spend anything. A person reads every enquiry and replies within one working day, and the reply says so plainly if the answer is not yet.

First home textile order? The sixteen step buying guide walks the whole purchase, the numbers page shows what is actually being paid for your product, and the desk page explains what we do and what we charge, which is nothing until a mill has shipped and been paid.

One thing worth knowing before you fill this in. A home textile minimum is counted per colour and it is set by the dye lot, not by a sewing line. Four colours is four minimums. If your total looks large but is spread thin across colours, say so in the box at the bottom, because that single sentence changes which mills can run the order and it is the commonest reason a first quotation comes back too expensive.

Where you sell

The market you are selling into, not where you are based. It decides the duty, the bed sizes and the labelling law a mill has to meet.

What you are buying

Tick every category in the order. These are the same eight groups the numbers page reports, so you can go and read what is actually being paid for yours.

Whatever you have. Construction, weight in grams per square metre, weave, finish, filling. If you only have a reference product, describe that instead and we will work back from it.

Quantity, per colour

The depth in one colour is what decides whether an order clears a dye lot, so it matters more than the total.

Sizes, colours and pieces of each. A rough answer is fine. If you have a size grid in centimetres, that is the single most useful thing you can send.

Where you are now

A specification is what a mill quotes from: construction, weight, finish, the size grid in centimetres with tolerances, the pack and the tests. No specification yet is fine, your stage above says so. A link is enough, and do not send anything confidential you would not want a mill to see.

When you need it in your warehouse

Work back from your own on shelf date. Home textile lead times run from yarn and greige booking, which is earlier than most first time buyers expect.

Optional, and it stays between us. It saves everyone a round of quoting that was never going to work.

You get a reference number on screen and by email. There is no fee to enquire. No fee to enquire and no obligation.

What happens after you press send

The reply will ask for your size grid in centimetres, your pieces per size and per colour, and a physical shade reference. Those three decide whether a mill can quote you at all. If you have them, put them in now and save a round trip. If you do not have a size grid yet, say so honestly below and we will send you the questions that build one.

Not ready yet?

Not ready to order, but want to be on the list

Register as a buyer A longer form, and it opens right here. Nothing is sent until you press the button at its end.

If you are not ready to start a specific order, tell us what you sell and how you buy. We come to you when a checked mill matches, and when the market moves in a way that changes what your product costs.

Where you sell

Tick every market you sell into. This is not where you are based: it decides the bed sizes you need, the duty you pay and the labelling law a mill has to satisfy, and most brands sell into several.

What you sell

Tick every category in your range. Almost no home textile brand sells only one thing.

The products you actually run, not everything you might one day want.

Order size you work at

Counted per colour, because that is what a dye lot minimum is counted in.

Where you are now
How often you buy

Say nothing if you would rather not. It only helps us judge what a realistic price for you looks like.

Certifications you need

Tick what a mill must hold before you would place with it. Leave it empty if it depends on the product.

You get a reference number on screen and by email. There is no fee to enquire. We will not add you to any mailing list you did not ask for.

A person reads this, not an automated system. Expect a reply within one working day.

Make home textiles rather than buy them?

If you are a mill or a stitching unit wanting to be on our list, the supplier registration is the other side of this page. Home textile makers register on the garment side of the form, where the tick list for what you make includes bed linen, towels, quilts, curtains and rugs.

Questions

Common questions

Why does the form ask for quantity per colour rather than in total?

Because the dyeing machine sets the minimum, not the sewing line. A thousand pieces in one colour is a straightforward order and the same thousand split across five colours is five separate dye lots, which is a different conversation entirely. Answering per colour lets us tell you the truth on the first reply.

Quantities and the minimum

Can I mix bed linen and towels in one enquiry?

Yes, and the form is built for it: What you are buying takes as many ticks as you need. They are usually different mills, so you may get more than one answer back, but you only have to ask once.

The home textile desk

I do not have a specification yet. Is that a problem?

No. Say the product and roughly the quality level you are aiming at and we can work from that. The specification or size grid link is optional for exactly this reason, and the guide explains what a thread count or a gram weight actually commits you to before you put one in writing.

The home textile buying guide

Does it cost anything to send this?

No. Enquiring is free and there is no fee for the answer. Who pays us, and for what, is set out in full on the home page.
