Of course refreshments and delicious treats will be served alongside Carlucci’s divine new fabrics and wallcoverings. As the name implies Retroscape is a fascinating potpourri of mid century-inspired colours, textures and patterns. Designers looked to Palm Spring's heyday for inspiration, evoking that era’s opulence and playfulness. Robert will also be showing the latest releases from JAB to our Australian clients. Retroscape will be released on Wednesday 27 February. In the meantime here's a sneak peek...

Here's one for our VIC clients... We are on the move! This is our last full week in our Burwood Rd showroom so we're having a moving sale! Cameron, Emily and Phoebe are on a mission to sell our display drops, cushion covers and fabric lengths at heavily discounted prices. There are lots of goodies and we need them gone because we don't want to take them with us. Call in and grab a bargain!

Our new showroom is at 499 High Street, Prahran. It will take us a few days to get up and running so stay tuned for the opening date. In the meantime you are most welcome to call our VIC team if you have any queries next week.

Due to significant increases from our suppliers we have revised the prices for our stock and Textilia (AU only) products. This morning we sent out the new Pricelist. Please contact your Unique Account Manager if you didn't receive it. Perhaps you are no longer on our mailout list (contact our web manager to sign up again). The new prices take effect on Monday 3 February. Of course quotes made prior to that date will be honored at the old price.

Just a quick message to let you know that our New Zealand showrooms, sales service office and warehouse will be closed on Friday 7 February.

We'll be back on deck on Monday (11 February), ready to springboard into the new product cycle. We're looking forward to seeing you soon.

In the meantime here's a sneak peek snippet of Carlucci's upcoming release...

Hi Everyone! We're back on deck and raring to get into 2020 - doesn't it have a great ring to it. While we had a wonderful summer break our thoughts have been with the people (and the floral and fauna) affected by the fires. The images have been heart-wrenching and we hope you have not suffered damage in this terrible event.

Over the coming weeks our Account Managers will be making contact and showing you what's new for the first few months. We've been working on a theme of Back to Basics and making our Designer Swatches. More on that soon.

We also have a new outdoor print collection heading your way. It's called Out There and it works a contemporary tribal theme. The three new prints include an all-over Zebra pattern Safari, a mash-up of tribal motifs Nomad and a stunning abstract line drawing called Wanderer - a sneak peek below. As you can see the colour palette is strictly monochromatic and works beautifully with our existing black and white plains: Marine Plus, Outside, Rib and Streak.

On the horizon we have the new Carlucci release which will coincide with a visit from Robert Petit - stay tuned for that. Invitations will be sent out soon.

Here's to a great 2020!
