From the Designer Workroom: A Showcase
Every so often, a fabric comes through the shop that belongs less on a swatch board and more in a showroom. These two are from that world — textiles a design workroom would pull for a single client project and never see again. Consider this a small showcase.
Guell Lamadrid | Sintra Dior Toile de Jouy
Five continuous yards. A chartreuse and olive ground layered with navy, denim, and sky blue — the kind of scenic toile a designer builds an entire room around, not tucks into a corner. Drapery, a statement headboard, or upholstery on the one piece meant to hold the room together.

Jane Churchill | Apsley Coral
Five yards. A painterly stripe in warm coral over natural linen, from a house serious collectors already know on sight. This is workroom-grade yardage — enough for full drapery panels or a substantial upholstery piece. Apsley is a Jane Churchill signature — see the pattern in the Colefax Design Library →
Both are single remnants pulled from designer workrooms — not reordered, not restocked. Once they're gone, this particular showcase is over.
