Yuwa is coming

When I first started celticfusionfabrics.. I had being searching around for interesting brands to stock .. and I came across Kokka .. definitely my favourite brand that we stock.. unusual and for me - very exciting to order and to sell .. great quality .. fab designs .. okay I will admit a little expensive .. but looks great alongside plain cheaper cottons and maybe into litle patchwork .. beautiful.
But the brand that I really wanted to get my teeth into was Yuwa fabrics .. they do a beautiful range of sugar flower and English rose themed cottons .. but the type / style that I really wanted were the retro ones .. Graphic .. and bold ...




So I tried and I tried to get in contact with someone ...(anyone) who could help me and then one day I got a response .. and eventually someone spoke to me .. and there was a light ... well a very small light ... at the end of the tunnel ... even with my Irish charm it was hard to get the information out of the Japanese people. why ? you may ask. well 1. I know that they love to keep a lot of the great designs for themselves and 2. My Japanese is very very minimal, well non- existant really.. but anyway eventually success ..


and we have ordered the following from them ... I really hope that you like them .. I will keep you posted with much better pics when they arrive. I love the idea that we have a great new Range arriving here with us ....

  6. I have recently bought some of these from Japan- so complicated to do and I had a lot of help, but now they are closer to home, fantastic. I have the top on in 2 colourways- it is gorgeous. Can't wait to see them in your shop
