About this company
We are the founders and team leaders behind everything that happens in our beautiful Gloucestershire workshop, and into our clients’ properties reaching London, and everywhere in-between! We measure, sew, pleat, and install for some of the country’s finest interior designers. The complete service! We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, which means our systems, plans and processes are assessed by external auditors against internationally recognised standards to manage quality control and continuous improvement across the business, with the aim of delivering the best and most consistent service to our customers.

And we think that’s a wonderful thing!
