We're 21! So how about a giveaway?


***COMPETITION NOW CLOSED***

Last Mother's Day weekend marked the 21st birthday of Tessuti Fabrics. Our little business baby is all grown up now and I still pinch myself when I think about how we started and just how very far we've come. The photo above was taken in the mid-nineties at the same store in Chatswood that's still going today. Since then, we've opened Surry Hills (2005) and Melbourne (2009) and an online store that caters to everyone near and far and in between.


And so to celebrate this milestone and coming of age, we're giving away 21 metres of our latest and yet-to-be-released linens in a timeless range of colours! Three lucky winners will be chosen at random to each win an assorted bundle containing seven metres each! To be in the running for this fabulous prize, all you need to do is leave a comment below. Don't forget that if you're commenting anonymously you'll need to leave an email address as well. Comp closes Sunday 19th May 11:59pm AEST

Ah, it's a nice thing to be a fabric shop and all grown up. So very many thanks to you and to all our customers and readers for supporting us and helping us grow and get this far. Here's to the next 21 years! x

  55. Aaaah 21 years ago I remember mum coming home and telling me about the new fabric store which had just opened up next to Chatswood Chase (the Lemon Grove) - it has been a love story for my mum and me since then - clothes of all sorts - for mum, me, my sisters and many many grandchildren and christening gowns. I love trekking back to Chatswood, and also discovering the Melbourne store on my visits interstate and of course on-line to help me dream of beautiful fabrics and sewing ideas. Congratulations Collette!

    ReplyDelete
  56. As a recent customer of online ordering with Tessuti I have found the customer service both online and over the phone brilliant. I am now a long term customer and will definitely be purchasing more fabric in the future.
    Congratulations on reaching your majority and all the best for the next 21 years.

    Happy "B" day .... so would love some linen .... living on far sth coastNSW and so hard to get great fabric here & definately nothing as good as yours.... girlfriend told me about you and have been drooling over your fabrics ...... unfortunately I can't get the pleasure to touch it from here :(

    ReplyDelete
  156. Well done to the best fabric store ever! You guys know how much I love it there ;-). I actually just made my mother-in-law a copy of her favourite pair of linen pants for Mother's Day. It took me ages to choose the right linen fabric from your Chatswood store, only because I was nervous about making these pants perfect for my very quality conscious/Italian design fan mum-in-law. Needless to say, she absolutely loved them and asked me when I was off to Tessuti's again so she could look at other colours!

    ReplyDelete
  157. Happy 21st Birthday. What an achievement for any business. I enjoy sewing beautiful fabrics, all purchased from Tessuti. I am an adamant follower of your store, since moving to rural Western Victoria. And so are my students in my sewing classes, here in Casterton. Congratulations! Regards Julie

  185. Wow 21 and still looking so good! What a great achievement! A big congratulations Collette and the whole Tessuti team, you have kept us oohing and aahhhing at your beautiful fabrics and certainly kept our stash well stocked! The help and advice is second to none!
    I would love to win this fabulous prize as on my list of projects I have the Lily Dress, the Chloe pant and maybe even the Jac shirt! I love all of the colours! Also I wanted to let you know Colette that my son Kane has launched a range of mens clothes, mainly printed on ready made tshirts and jeans but still it's a start and they are flying out the door! Hope your 21st celebrations are huge! Keri :)
