Founded in 1903, Gainsborough is one of the UK’s last remaining weaving houses and the custodian of an impressive archive of over 7000 fabrics. Taking its name from the location of the Mill, Sudbury Edit features designs from the archive, masterfully reimagined for contemporary interiors.
The collection honours the beauty of past periods whilst giving the fabrics a modern twist to suit 21st century tastes. The colourways, including neutral tones, ensure the fabrics remain timeless and offer versatility to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Sudbury Edit designs are crafted using natural materials for a durable and stylish finish.
Spanning signature designs, perfect corresponding geometrics and one-off wonders. With one main collection and at least one capsule carefully curated and launched every year, our offering of supported collections – kept in stock in all colourways – is growing constantly.
“Couture to interiors”: Our team can be as hands-on as you require, from initial idea generation to completion, or as a sounding board for clients’ ambitions. Orders start at just 20 metres.
Customised and special orders of our archive documents and in-house collections are a simple way of reworking an existing design to make it your own.
Gainsborough was established in part as a mill specialising in historical designs and, every year, we continue this tradition with a number of fabric recreations.
A visit to Gainsborough is always magical.
It is a unique mill reverberating with the sounds, sights and smells of traditional weaving techniques and looms, handled by craftspeople with a commitment to excellence.
Delve into our library of exquisitely crafted fabrics. Each one has been designed, dyed, warped and woven with care and integrity to produce some of the world’s finest interior furnishing fabrics.
