For Top Designers & Architects

Exceptional quality, inspiring collections, extensive colourways. Core fabrics for your design scheme: extended neutrals; striking designs; technical fabrics; professional support and guidance for fabric specification and treatment.

From upholstery velvet fabrics to luxury cashmere throws; and from upholstery linen to upholstery faux leather fabrics. The very best quality fabrics for professional Interior Designers.

Mohair Velvet & Silk Velvet Upholstery Fabric

Mohair Velvet Upholstery Fabrics and other designer upholstery Velvets are our specialities; we are inspired and excited by exquisite velvets made from high-quality yarns such as silk, mohair, cashmere, linen and cotton.

For our contract clients, we have a significant number of contract velvet collections, ranging from the most durable Mohair Upholstery Velvet to FR Treveria Contract Velvets. Contract velvet fabrics from KOTHEA offer the very best Wyzenbeek / Martindale test values for upholstery where rubs exceed 100,000. We have ‘shiny’ and non-‘shiny’ velvets; long- and short-pile velvets; dense and less-dense velvet weaves.

Our Upholstery Mohair Velvet is very much on-trend for 2025, perhaps because of the high-quality and 100% natural yarn we use or perhaps it’s the durability of contract-grade options with 100,000 rub counts. An extensive colour palette, often with your precise colour requirement, is available across a series of collections.

As all our velvets are woven in Europe, you know the quality will be the best – with our high-profile customers ranging from royalty to a home cinema in a local new build.

Some tips for narrowing down your velvet choice

• “Velvet” refers to the type of weave. A velvet fabric can be made from an extensive range of fibres; mohair wool is just one of those fibres.
• Mohair fibre comes from the underbelly of a specific goat variety
• Mohair Velvet is one of the most popular options as it is typically very durable and has an inherent Crib 5 pass. So, there are no further costs associated with FR treatment.
• Silk Velvet can look fantastic but is typically only for domestic use
• Cotton velvet can be a good alternative to Mohair Velvet and is often around half the price whilst still representing a 100% natural product. Our cotton velvet is sufficiently durable for many contract applications and certainly for domestic uses; however, it requires Crib 5 treatment.
• More interesting and unusual weaves are available in linen, man-made yarns, and our super-luxury Italian Cashmere & Silk Velvet, available only to our current clients.

Cashmere Throws & Luxury Bed, Sofa Blankets

Luxury Cashmere Throws and Designer Cashmere Bed Blankets from KOTHEA are the very best you can buy in the UK.

We only use 100% Pure Cashmere wool, hand woven by expert artisans for our bespoke cashmere throws. We offer an extensive collection comprising beautiful designs in a range of muted, neutral colourways.

100% Cashmere Wool – Many Competitor throws are 30% cashmere and 70% mixed fibres, that’s why they’re cheap.

2-Ply – Cheaper throws are also more likely to be 2-ply ie made like a scarf with the bare minimum wool content. KOTHEA Cashmere throws vary from 4-Ply to 10-Ply.

We have precise attention to every detail, right down to the: intricacy of the weave; the tassels; the extravagant thickness & feel; the design and colour matching. The main image shows one of our Inspiring Cashmere Bed Throws at the Simon Horn King’s Road store.

We have 12 different designs, many standard colourways, bespoke options and 3 standard fringe designs.
