James Dunlop
Sourcing the finest textiles and wallpapers since 1907.
Inspired by life and style.
James Dunlop is inspired by our Antipodean heritage, our New Zealand landscape and lifestyle. A brand born of place, creating textiles which form a visceral connection to our surrounding environments.
James Dunlop fabrics are developed through a contemporary lens, backed with over a century of industry knowledge. Timeless in both quality and style, James Dunlop fabrics understand the lives spent on and around them.
“James Dunlop Textiles was founded in 1907 in the bustling port of Dunedin, New Zealand as a supplier of European fabric to retailers. From a dynasty of Freemen and textile merchants based in the Scottish countryside close to the border of Northern England, a commitment to quality design and performance ensured longevity for company and product alike.
Over a century later, the fourth generation Dunlop family governs this innovative design-based organisation across the Asia- Pacific region. With a strong focus on sustainable textile excellence, coupled with world class logistics and service, the company enjoys industry accolades and support from a wide base of global retail and interior design customers."
Design Studio
“James Dunlop Textiles has three design studios – Sydney, Auckland & Melbourne. By virtue of their locations these studios have important access to two of our key markets and the ability to explore and forecast design trends.
Bursting with creativity, the studios and their teams research, develop and customise fabric and wallpaper from conception to market entry. Their ability to work with international suppliers and view textiles within the greater design context provides an essential service to the company and our customers.
At James Dunlop Textiles we are interested in different ways of living. We’re constantly exploring what fabric can bring to people’s life. We view the world through a uniquely Australasian lens, so in designing and curating our collections we look both outwards and inwards.
Being on trend is compulsory, but as important to us is being relevant to the environmental and situational usage that our fabrics will be exposed to. Whether it Christchurch, Canberra or California, our textiles have been purposely designed to perform and look great.”
