About Us

Fabric Of Life

At James Dunlop Textiles we are interested in different ways of living. We’re constantly exploring what fabric can bring to people’s life. We view the world through a uniquely Australasian lens, so in designing and curating our collections we look both outwards and inwards.

Founded in 1907 in the bustling port of Dunedin, New Zealand, the fourth generation Dunlop family maintains a strong focus on fabrics that are relevant to today. Our textiles are consciously designed to perform and look great.

If you have read any of our previous journal articles, you will know that we highly advise educating yourself first and researching the ins and outs of several types of fabrics - the way they are constructed as well as how they behave under certain conditions.

In today’s article, we provide a high-level overview of the key considerations as part of your upholstery fabric selection.
