Advice and Guarantee
If we are supplying the fabric to be used we ask you to look after it as per the manufacturers guidelines as normal wear or tear is not guaranteed. If you are unsure how to care for this fabric we can advise you on this. As leather is a natural product some of the hides may show natural marks or scars. Depending on the supplier, variation on both texture and colour may occur different from the samples you look at.
If you are supplying the fabric then the fabric must meet British Fire regulations as we cannot be held liable for any furniture made with fabric which does not comply. For certain pieces we can provide a barrier cloth inter-liner depending on where the piece is to be used. Please ensure the fabric is suitable for the use it is intended. Please speak to your account manager if you have any queries over the regulations.
