The Textile District works with independent artists and surface pattern designers to offer original artwork as artist-designed fabric by the yard.
Our Designer Program is a curated fabric licensing program for artists who want to build an ongoing fabric presence with The Textile District. We handle digital textile printing and fulfillment, product setup, merchandising and customer service while helping customers discover participating artists through search, editorial content, project inspiration and social media.
On natural-fiber textiles, we specialize in printing with OEKO-TEX® certified fiber-reactive dyes for rich color, a soft hand and excellent wash-and-wear performance. Fabrics are printed to order in the USA across a broad selection of quality base textiles.
More Than a Place to List Designs
We continue to support participating artists and their collections through merchandising, ongoing catalog support and marketing efforts. In return, we look for artists who see fabric as a meaningful part of their creative business and are interested in helping customers discover where their fabrics can be purchased.
Participating artists are encouraged to share their Textile District collections through their own website, newsletter, social media and other appropriate marketing channels.
The Designer Program is not exclusive. Many artists also work with agents, license their artwork in other product categories or participate in other commercial programs.
We do, however, prioritize artists who intend to maintain a meaningful relationship with The Textile District rather than simply add another passive or short-term sales channel.
Fabric sales vary widely and are not guaranteed. Some designs sell regularly, some occasionally, and others may generate little or no revenue for extended periods.
Our print-to-order catalog is developed with long-term availability in mind so customers can return to favorite designs and colorways for later projects and reorders. Participation and catalog placement are reviewed over time, so long-term availability does not guarantee permanent placement.
Prefer to Manage Your Own Fabric Sales?
Artists who prefer to manage their own fabric sales can still use The Textile District as their custom fabric printing and fulfillment resource.
Order your own designs as custom printed fabric by the yard and sell through your website, studio, showroom or other channels. We can also white-label ship printed fabric directly to your customers while you maintain your own brand and customer relationship. For international fulfillment or other specific shipping needs, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
