SAVEL TEXTILES

2019 brings a new addition of fabrics to introduce and share with you.

I am delighted to be representing SAVEL.

For over 30 years, the Savel Fabric Collection has assisted and inspired interior designers and architects.
A family owed business, Sallie Hall and her daughter Andrea Elish source mills worldwide for innovative textures, weaves and colors. Savel’s tone on tone, textured fabrics have remained a leader in the textile industry.

AND THEN: WHAT WAS NEXT:

2008: Savel initiated and has enjoyed a successful partnership with famed interior architect, JOHN SALADINO. The Saladino for Savel Fabric Collection highlights classically inspired designs in John Saladino’s style. The Saladino Collection is distributed by Savel both nationally and internationally.

Savel worked with Sunbrella yarns and mills to introduce an impressive selection of indoor and outdoor textiles.

2013: Savel introduced hospitality and IMO rated fabrics.

From the beginning in 1984 to 2019 and on, Savel’s masterplan remains: Personal and Responsive Customer Service, contributing to their client’s success.

I invite you to check out their website: www.savelinc.com and to visit the collection at the Georgina Rice showroom in the 4th floor of the Design Galleria.

Here’s a toast to the New Year with infinite possibilities and new fabric opportunities

Best personal regards,

Mimi
