Dormeuil

The best and most luxurious fabric in the world completely sums up the magic of the Dormeuil collection. Dormeuil’s history dates back to 1842 when Jules Dormeuil first started importing English textiles in France. Behind the fabric are years of research and perfection that is required to produce these fine, exotic fabrics. The designs and colours give an obvious point of difference not seen from other mills. When creating the cloth, Dormeuil follows three pillars: part art, part science and part nature. From here textiles are selected annually from breeding farms around the world to produce the highest quality natural fabrics. A strict process is then put in place to ensure the end user is getting a luxury product. Available on a cut length service within 7 working days.
