outdoor fabrics

Outdoor velvet, like the Camargue collection by Jim Thompson, has all the durability you need without the distinctly waxy, plastic-like quality of conventional outdoor fabrics. ‘The fabric feels luxurious to the touch while the colour options are rich and diverse and, because it is made of robust Dralon acrylic yarn, it won’t fade or shrink in the sun,’ says Tanya Sturgeon of T&CO Fabrics, which stocks the collection.
