Emma Shipley Fabrics – Fantastical British Maximalism & Printed Velvets

Introduce surreal wonder and fantastical British maximalism into your home with our collection of Emma Shipley fabrics. Created by acclaimed artist Emma J Shipley in collaboration with Clarke & Clarke, this collection is celebrated for hand-drawn illustrations of exotic wildlife, mythical creatures, and enchanted flora. Ordering cut meterage of authentic Emma Shipley fabrics allows you to bring opulent printed velvets and cotton satins into your home for bespoke upholstery, drapery, and cushions.

Surreal Wildlife, Jewel-Toned Palettes & Statement Placement

Emma Shipley fabrics transform interiors into maximalist wonderlands. From winged lynxes and jungle lemurs to fantastical Amazonian botanicals, these textiles create show-stopping focal points on accent armchairs, headboards, dining chairs, and dramatic drapery. The palette features electric teals, deep emeralds, rich magentas, and burnt oranges on dark backgrounds. Explore our animal and bird fabric designs and pair upholstery with matching walls from our Emma Shipley wallpapers collection.

Artisan Print Craftsmanship, Martindale Rub Counts & Specifications

Printed in the UK to high luxury standards, Emma Shipley textiles balance fine art with durability. The signature printed velvets feature Martindale rub counts exceeding 40,000 to 50,000 rubs, delivering exceptional resilience for upholstery and boutique furniture.

When ordering meterage for drapery, the dense velvet pile and fluid satin drape create sculptural folds. Combine cut fabrics with our specialist curtain linings for added body and UV protection, or embellish cushions with luxury trimmings. Pattern repeats and match details are clearly specified for seamless joinery.
