2)      Please note that all fabrics, especially the natural ones, change shade in time so new purchases of the same fabric will probably result in items having a slightly different shade than those purchased in the past. In order to validate the new purchase of fabrics make sure to ask for a stock cutting to check the shade of the new fabric.

3)      As leather is a natural product, some of the hides may show natural marks, or scars.

If you are supplying the fabric then the fabric must meet British fire regulations as we cannot be held liable for any furniture made with fabric which does not comply.
