Beginnings

Owner and principal buyer Sally, started Fabric House in 2007 after moving to New Zealand from the UK with her husband and three young children. The family settled in to a new home and Sally set about furnishing their traditional villa. She quickly grew disillusioned by the cost of quality fabrics and missed being able to purchase fabric straight from the bolt. Sally sources fabrics direct from UK and European suppliers so you can purchase beautiful Linens at wholesale prices, and have access to Designer end of lines at a fraction of their original cost.

Our team

Fabric House have experienced, dedicated staff who are on hand to help you selecting the right fabric for your home or project.

"I've been part of Fabric House since its inception on Chapter Street, now proudly managing the Store. Working in this stunning environment alongside our fantastic team is an absolute joy! With a background in the arts, I have a natural affinity for color, making my role here especially fulfilling. Whether it's crafting my own garments or sewing curtains, I'm always eager to assist customers with their creative projects.

One of my top fabric picks is the Jacobean floral pattern on a richly textured linen base—a timeless choice for any project."
