During 2012, SMD Textiles Ltd, a 30-year-old fabric designer and manufacturer, undertook extensive research into the Interior Textile Market. What did we learn? Nothing surprising! Interior textiles are confusing to shop, there is far too much product and the majority is overpriced! The supply chain is old fashioned and no one is too concerned about creating partnerships.
