Busy at KOTHEA
We have been absolutely hectic at KOTHEA this year. Some new velvets are coming on board as I write and we have been concentrating a lot more as well on European business this year.
There are a few new marketing activities we have planned which should hopefully add a little value to the interior design community rather than just trying to sell stuff to them, so watch this space and your in-box for more information on that.
We have tried to offer as full a range of velvets as possible: cotton velvets; linen velvets; cashmere silk velvets; silk velvets; mohair velvets and so on. We are thought about offering a budget range as well but decided in the end not to tarnish our strong quality brand. I think we made the right choice.
Finished Goods – Cushions
KOTHEA today announce a new range of finished goods. Publicity starts on this blog with a link to our cushions. More Finished goods to follow.
Cushions are found <here>.
Fabric Testing For Velvets
KOTHEA use TFT in Ilkley for fabric testing. We recently had some Mohair Velvet and Cotton Velvet tested there for Cribe 5 / Crib 5. They are UKAS accredited.

Black & Pink Fabrics
Sometimes we can all get a little carried away with the modern staples of colour. The muted neutrals, the taupe and dare I even say it, beige.
We’ve added some new colours to several of our ranges. Shades of pink and black! Not earth shattering news perhaps but black velvets and pink linens are asked for more often than you’d think.
KOTHEA also have black fabrics in interesting textures such as mohair velvet, bobbly wool and a cord / corduroy.
John Minshaw Designs
John Minshaw’s upcoming new book, ‘John Minshaw Designs’ is expected to display the finest of British contemporary interiors. Great photographs capture the understated beauty of John Minshaw’s interiors, with their clean, accomplished spaces and architectural finesse. This book covers ten projects, spanning twenty years, offering a summary of Minshaw’s work.

KOTHEA PR
We have been lucky enough to be getting quite a lot of coverage of our new ranges for 2009. This year we decided to have a gradual month-by-month release of new designs rather than the usual Spring and Autumn collections…we’re not a clothes fashion company after all.
Have a look at some of our thoughts on the year ahead as shown in the excellent on-line design directory The House Directory. An excerpt from the MARCH 2009 edition is shown below.
For a sneak preview of some of our new fabrics we have a 2009 flickr feed.
