To our friends in the EU that have been part of our fabric journey of discovery, we do appreciate all your orders and sharing your creativity.

The trade deal means you will now pay Duty and VAT charges on orders coming from the UK and from us.

We would love feedback on what you think about this as we continue to research any possibilities of reducing the cost of sending you lovely fabric.
