Olivades

I found this new fabric warehouse purely by accident on one of my regular visits to Le Forge in Camperdown to drool over the furniture and French imports (and particularly the beds and bedding – so chic, it’s all along the lines of delectable homewares store The Country Trader, but more affordable).

Olivades, which has opened just next door to Le Forge, stocks divine French toile de jouy, voiles and upholstery fabrics, as well as a small range of homewares. I’ve already stocked up on a bunch of remnants, and ordered some pretty toile de jouy voile in a rosy hue to pin up in front of the blinds in the spare room. Perfect if you’re looking for a touch of French country house to add to your home.
