Care and Maintenance

Exact matches vary by material and dye chemistry, but we’re skilled at achieving very close results. We always create a sample first to show colour accuracy before full production. Lighting conditions in photos also affect perceived colour, so we ask clarifying questions.

Our dye team has decades of experience matching colours across our material range. Hand-dyed materials like wool may have natural variation (which is part of their charm). We mitigate this through careful dye control and sampling before production. Synthetic colours are more uniform but equally customisable.

Our dye palette is expansive. We source colour inspiration from nature, art, fashion, and interiors. If you have a specific colour reference—a paint swatch, photo, fabric sample—we match it in our lab before committing to full production. Complex multi-colour designs are also standard.

Pantone swatches are useful but material-dependent. A Pantone red looks different on wool versus silk versus synthetic fibre. We always create a small sample to show you the actual colour outcome on your chosen material before proceeding.

Light bounces off silk differently than wool. Wool has a warm matte finish; silk has a lustrous sheen. Synthetics can be matte or glossy. These characteristics affect how colour reads. This is why material selection happens alongside colour selection. We’ll show you the difference with swatches.

Sometimes the ideal colour isn’t technically dyeable in your first-choice material. We work around this by either finding a material that works or adjusting your colour direction to complement your space while staying in your preferred fibre. Most projects find a happy balance.
