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.
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 customers.
James Dunlop Textiles are the proud distributer of house brands James Dunlop, Mokum and Zepel, as well as International brands Bluebellgray, Casadeco, Casamance, Christian Fischbacher, Designs of the Time, Kirkby Design, Ultrafabrics, Villa Nova & Zinc.
