The cloth wall: a fabric library that sells
Updated 15 July 2026 · 1 min read
Composition, weight, imagery and price bands — set up the library once and every design conversation gets easier.
Cloth is half the sale. The cloth wall (The Rail → Fabrics) is your fabric library, built to be flicked through like the real thing.
What a fabric carries
- The facts — composition, weight, mill/collection, colour and pattern.
- Imagery — a good swatch photo does more than any description.
- Price band — how the cloth prices into a garment, via your markup rules.
- Availability — retire cloths that are gone; nothing sours a sale like choosing an unavailable fabric.
In the design tool
Clients and staff filter the wall by colour, weight, composition and price as they design — a searchable wall means the "something like this, but wool" conversation takes seconds.
Yield
Where quantity matters, fabric yield feeds cost — so a long coat in a wide check prices honestly against a waistcoat in plain worsted.
Photograph swatches in consistent light. A tidy wall of honest photos quietly outsells a taller pile of murky ones — see Build your catalog for the wider setup.
