The Selvedge fair has evolved from the old school charm of our local church hall to the beautiful backdrop of Chelsea Old Town Hall – but wherever we are promoting independent designers and artisans is a vital part of the Selvedge ethos. We hold our fairs twice a year and offer visitors 100 stands with a carefully curated mix of antique textiles, talented designer makers and beautiful haberdashery.

Selvedge will gather together beautiful textiles and fine crafts – we aim to make shopping a truly pleasurable experience. Our event takes place over two days with an evening reception so visitors will have plenty of time to browse a truly tempting range of textiles in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere.

With over 100 stands – a carefully curated mix of antique textiles, talented designer makers and vintage haberdashery – there is no better opportunity to buy special, handcrafted textiles and enjoy meeting and talking to the talented people that create them.
