Sample Service

See it for yourself

We will do our best to accurately describe our products, however if you are unsure about the color, weight, style, grain or pattern of any of our fabrics we strongly recommend ordering a sample before purchasing.

Our samples are pre-cut ~ 15cm x 8cm (6"x 3 1/2") (approximately) fabric pieces supplied on card as shown here. Samples are available for every fabric we have online and can be purchased directly from the product page just by selecting 'order sample' underneath the 'add to cart' button.
We also offer Bulk Samples for our milled products, available here.

Samples ordered as part of a larger purchase including fabric will be shipped along with that order. See our full shipping guide for delivery methods & shipping rates. Samples ordered on their own (without a fabric purchase) qualify for free shipping by the methods below.

*We no longer offer a free postal option for a our sample service to some ROW countries. Unfortunately, we have found sample orders have more often than not been lost in transit to these countries and consequently can only offer our tracked, DHL Express service for all products. If you would like to have your samples sent via untracked, stamped mail, please email support@thefabricstoreonline.com and we can organize this for you. Note, by choosing this free post option we cannot guarantee successful delivery of your samples and are unable to supply replacements in this case.
