Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering, caring for, and enjoying your investment furniture
Ordering & Customization
How long will my order take?
Our sofas are handcrafted to order in North Carolina with a 6-8 week lead time from order confirmation. This timeframe allows our artisans to carefully construct each piece using traditional techniques and premium materials.
Can I customize my sofa?
Yes! Our semi-custom approach allows you to choose from:
- 6 sofa styles (Belgravia, Chelsea, Dalston, Fitzroy, Mayfair, and Pimlico)
- 24 striped fabric options, with new designs released seasonally
- Multiple colorways for most of our striped fabric designs
- Standard dimensions optimized for most living spaces
Do you offer fabric samples?
Absolutely! We strongly recommend ordering fabric samples before making your final selection. Samples show the true texture, weight, and color of our performance fabrics and help ensure your choice works perfectly in your space. Order samples >
Can I cancel or modify my order?
Changes can be made within 24 hours of order placement at no charge. After 24 hours, modifications may incur fees as production planning begins. Once your sofa enters the crafting stage, changes cannot be accommodated.

Fabric Care & Maintenance
How do I clean my performance fabric?
Our PFAS-free performance fabrics are designed for easy maintenance:
Regular care:
- Vacuum with an upholstery attachment
- Rotate and fluff cushions periodically
- Address spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing)
Spot cleaning:
- Use mild soap and warm water for most stains
- Bleach-cleanable for deeper cleaning
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely
Are the fabrics really stain-resistant?
Yes! Unlike chemically-treated fabrics, our materials are inherently stain-resistant through advanced fiber technology. This means the stain resistance won't wear off over time and won't compromise safety.
Can I wash the cushion covers?
Our cushions are not designed with removable covers. However, the performance fabric can be thoroughly cleaned in place using the spot-cleaning methods outlined in our care guide.
How do I maintain down-blend cushions?
Down-blend cushions require some maintenance to maintain their shape and comfort:
- Shake and fluff regularly to refresh the filling
- Rotate cushion positions periodically based on usage
Sustainability & Health
Are your fabrics safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. Our fabrics are PFAS-free and contain no harmful chemical treatments. The inherent stain resistance comes from the fiber structure itself, not applied chemicals.
