These are the designs we supply to the trade in quantity. All are handwoven Uzbek ikat from Margilan — silk-cotton, cotton and silk velvet — cut in long continuous lengths from stock, or woven again on our own looms when you need more. Interior designers, upholsterers, dressmakers and shops buy them here at a fixed trade discount off the retail price.
The minimum is 3 metres per design, with no minimum order value. Prices on this page are retail. Open an account through our wholesale programme, and trade prices show automatically whenever you are logged in. Samples of up to three designs are free; you pay only the postage.

Every cloth here is woven by hand in Margilan, in the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. The warp threads are tie-dyed before weaving, so the pattern is in the thread and shows on both faces; nothing here is printed or power-loomed.
We weave on our own looms and sell the cloth ourselves, so a trade order comes straight from the workshop, without an importer in between. Ask us about a cloth and the answer comes from the workshop that wove it.
The fibre and width are the first lines on every product page. For upholstery projects, the cloths our upholsterer customers choose are gathered under ikat upholstery fabric.
If you need more of a design than we hold, or one that has sold out, we can weave it again.
A new run is a new dyelot, so the colour may differ slightly from the photograph and from earlier stock. If the match matters, order a sample from the new run first. Tell us the designs, metres and deadline and we will confirm what can be woven and when.
Samples are 20–25 cm pieces.
Stock orders leave Bukhara within 24 hours by tracked airmail:
Woven-to-order cloth ships the same way once it is finished. Import duty and VAT, where charged, are paid by the buyer. Prices are in US dollars, and the cloth is sold by the metre (1 m = 1.09 yards).
