I first made a name for myself online by finding a treasure trove of designer remnants. It must have been 2002 or 2003 when I got lucky and bought a tractor trailer load of Clarence House fabrics. I had just about every major design from the company from 1997-2001. Kanji, Les Oiseaux Enchantes in White and Black, Fleuries, Les Primeurs, a boucle that looked like a Russian circus... beautiful one-of-a-kind fabrics in abundance.
I moved on to another major brand in 2005, by buying 35,000 yards of Brunschwig & Fils designs. I found their selection to be a step below Clarence House- maybe two or three- but they did have some eye popping designs. I was in love with this pair of silk lampas designs in the Victorian style.
Today, as in years past, I am constantly scouring the fabric world for deals and one of a kind purchases. Every company is a little cash strapped- which makes it easier to get a foot in the door. On my Drapery Row site I'm offering the first tastes of 2010's crop. There are many more wonderful patterns to come.
You never know what will pop up next.
