Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson Fabrics feature a collection of fabrics that have been designed by “guest designers”.

1. English designer Richard Smith has outdone himself with his exquisite line of fabrics available in the Crystal collection. This grouping features luxurious printed silks that have actaully been embellished with Swarovski crystals.

For example, Mai’s Corsage is a shimmering floral that is available in 3 modern colorways that include regal red, modern lime or rose with lavender and gold stones. This fabric is the epitome of elegance.

Boiserie is an all over print available in 4 colorways that range from a sophisticated neutral to eye popping red, all embellished with randomly placed crystals. It’s like having diamonds at your windows!

2. Renowned French designer Paul Bidault has created a line of exotic fabrics in his Marco Polo collection. These designs were actually inspired by Jim Thompson’s own collection of Asian art.

The blue and white fish found on the Barramundi pattern can be found on items in Thompson’s collection of Ming porcelain. Printed on linen, this is the perfect choice for a casual pool house or sunroom.

Jim’s Dream, printed on a silk and cotton blend, has the soft patina of an ancient painting making it a nice selection for a bedroom or dining room.

These are just two of the four guest designer lines available. There is also a line inspired by the iconic Tony Duquette and the beautiful Metro Cloth line of textures just begging to be touched.

Clarence House Fabrics

Clarence House Fabrics

For nearly fifty years Clarence House Fabrics has been supplying the interior design industry with fabrics that feature exquisite details.

One fine example of this is the textural Jambalaya wool crewel. This fun loving fabric features a unique vine and leaf print with depictions of caterpillars, bugs and even a lion. While this could certainly be used in a child’s room, it is anything but juvenile. The sophisticated interpretation of the leaves, fruit and animals has a bit of an Asian feel and would add wonderful color and texture to any casual space such as a family room, game room or a breakfast area.

The Clarence House coordinating trim collection must be seen to be believed. It includes tiebacks woven to resemble a piece of coral, feathery tassels in every color combination possible and beading hand applied to gimp and braid.

This attention to detail is what sets Clarence House Fabrics apart from other textile manufacturers and it will do the same for your home.
