About Us


Offset Warehouse




The only online site that brings together all the elements needed to make ethical clothing and interiors!

One of the biggest difficulties of working with ethical fabrics is sourcing them! Creating ethical clothing and interiors takes a huge amount of time and research. Due to launch in a few months, Offset Warehouse will be the only online portal where you can find all the ethical fabrics and manufacturers you’re looking for.



So, What Do We Do?


We provide you with all the information and products you need to be ethical in world of fashion and design. We are the only online portal that brings together a wide range of ethical fabrics, products and services to make it easy for you. We also have our own online boutique where we sell the newest eco-designs and showcase the very best eco-collections from graduate designers.


Why Do We Do It?


It’s all about making it easier, so there are no more excuses! One of the biggest obstacles to being ethical in the world of fashion and interiors is sourcing the fabrics! Creating ethical clothing and interiors takes a huge amount of time and research. Offset Warehouse makes it easy by doing it for you.


How Do We Do It?



THE FABRIC SHOP & HABERDASHERY

Offset Warehouse aim to present the broadest range of fabrics, materials and services.
