2023 Most Popular Fabric Vendors (For Custom)

I went into the Buildlane data and pulled a report for COM fabrics received for the year 2023. I thought this would be helpful to see what other designers are specifying.

Here is a chart showing the top 30 fabric vendors and the volume of each vendor we received fabric last year.

*Note I didn’t modify the data to group different companies that are really the same company. Which is why you will see Holly Hunt and also Great Outdoors. Many that was low hanging fruit and I should have combined those two but I thought it was interesting how popular Great Outdoors was so I left it.

I did this same article a couple years ago so we can actually compare what was popular then versus now.

Samuel & Sons having the biggest jump is no surprise. We are definitely seeing a lot more trim being incorporated into upholstery designs. And it seems like last year the only trim anyone was ordering was all coming from Samuel & Sons – did they win that market?

Now comes the fun part. Last time I wrote this article I just shared a swatch of the fabric. This time I’m going to share a swatch along with a piece of furniture made with it for the top ten fabric vendors. Hope this was helpful!
