Default Anyone in the Fabric / Textiles business?

I'm trying to source a supplier for Children's patterned fabrics for the use in manufacturing chairs.

Is anyone in the business or does anyone know where I might find such a company. I've found quite a few retailers but struggling to find wholesalers or manufacturers of it. Would need to be supplied by the roll.

Can anyone help?

Here is an example of the types of fabric i'm looking for

Not too sure how far afield you are looking, you may need to look towards the east and i do not mean Norwich, China/India????

you will have a job to get that wholesale better to buy it from a retailer and get a discount.

If you are using it for chairs I take it that you are going to have it fireproofed (2 types depending on if its commercial or domestic use i thinks its called grade 2 or grade 6)

My parents had a fabric shop when I was a kid. They used to deal regularly with a couple of fabric wholesalers in Manchester; they used to go in, choose the fabric, and the wholesalers would measure off what they wanted onto another roll. Too long ago for me to remember the companies names though.

I don't know where in the country you are, but a Manchester Yellow pages might give you somewhere to start.

Cheetham Hill is the main part traditional for textiles but will be difficult to find what you are looking for there.....
