It's Showtime! Summer 2018

STI and it's affiliate companies Brentwood Textiles, JBS Leather and Magnolia Home had an awesome week at Showtime in High Point, North Carolina! The design teams work hard for months and months to bring their new patterns to life and at Showtime, they finally get to "show" it off. In addition to showing our customers the new line, we had a lot of exciting news to share...

This season, we debuted Revolution Chenille! The chenille collection has the luxurious and soft hand that chenilles are known for, but with the stain resistance and cleanability of Revolution.

Below: A selection of our new Revolution Chenilles!

Revolution Outdoor is coming to a patio near you! We are so excited to offer our customers a PFC chemical free, easy to clean outdoor fabric. Revolution Outdoor has 1500 hours of light fastness, making it the perfect choice for porches, pool chairs and more. Revolution Outdoor also has a water repellent finish (without PFCs) to ensure the fabric will not mold after getting wet from rain or dew. Revolution Outdoor will hit the marketplace and be available for purchase in late Summer 2018.

Inspired by the success of our online cut yardage store, revolutionfabrics.com, we are launching the Revolution Design Center to our manufacturer and retail customers! The Revolution Design Center offers Revolution fabrics by the yard with no minimums and fast lead times (less than a week!). There are close to 400 SKU's available in the program, including many of our top sellers. The larger and labeled samples, as well as the organization of the rack allows a customer to easily shop Revolution even in a busy retail environment. *If you are interested in this program, please email Revolution@STIKP.com
