Our fantastic Thibaut rep came into the store the other day and dropped off a packet that holds some very useful information on their favorite Sunbrella and Crypton fabrics. It features which patterns and textures work on certain styles and applications and why. It also includes how many colors are available and which Thibaut book they can be found in. We've summarized this information below!
According to Thibaut, "Our knowledge comes from real life experience. We try all of our fabrics before we bring them to the market by upholstering furniture for product photography and our showrooms. We aren't afraid to make changes to product based on what we learn."
All information comes from our Thibaut pamphlet.
