The stories behind the fabrics
Whinnie Williams, creative director and co-founder of retro-inspired interior brand Poodle & Blonde, shares the stories behind the designs in our exclusive collection.
The story behind the collaboration
We've loved working with Hillarys on this collection and are so proud of what we've created together.
Read my blog to discover what makes Hillarys and Poodle & Blonde such a great match.
We've always had a lot of our customers asking for fabric for curtains and blinds, but it can be a real faff to get them made yourself. I wanted to offer our customers an easy solution, and Hillary were the obvious choice.
They really brought our designs to life and have been so wonderful to work with. I've loved visiting the curtain and Roman blind factory in Nottingham and seeing the whole manufacturing process. The experienced teams are so dedicated to ensuring a quality finish and perfect fit.
I'm so excited to see the Hillarys service come to life in our product, letting our customers create their dream curtains and blinds.
My style is more muted with pops of colour. I love textures and depth. Whinnie loves the more obvious retro and colourful, so there's something for everyone in this collection.
Hillarys have embraced our vision for the collection. We both appreciate quality products, unique design, and good service, so it really does feel like the perfect partnership. We especially love that every fabric in this collection either contains cotton sourced as Better Cotton, recycled polyester, or sustainably sourced viscose. It makes us feel even more proud of this collaboration.
