Vail Cowboy fabric swatches from mill partners
The Difference

Why direct matters.

Most furniture makers order fabric from a distributor who orders from a jobber who orders from the mill. Every hand in that chain marks the fabric up. We cut the chain: we open accounts directly with the mills we love, so our customers pay for the fabric. Not for the chain.

The practical result: broader selection, faster lead times, better prices on the finest textiles on earth, and a designer who can pick up the phone and talk to the mill about a custom colorway.
