A bespoke sofa is yours: your shape, your fabric, your size. Nobody wants to wait months for something they sit on. Ours take 2-3 weeks.

What bespoke means here

You pick the shape (3, 2, 1, corner, chaise or U-shape on ranges like the Patterdale and Brooklyn), then the fabric. All our bespoke sofas come in 200+ fabrics. We help you choose. You can take a swatch home if it helps.

Fabric: what to think about

  • Pets and kids: tougher weaves and easy-clean fabrics.
  • Sunny rooms: some colours fade faster in strong light.
  • Feel: sit on it. Soft and deep, or firmer and upright?
  • Match: bring a cushion or curtain sample in if you can.

There is no single best fabric. The right one is the one that suits how you live.
