OMG!! Has it really been a month already since we last spoke and the release of our NEW 2015 Vertilux Blind Fabric Range. And from your feedback, you are loving it!! We are really pleased.
Our revamped website has been running well, with only a few glitches in the first week. This was to be expected and most were anticipated as you would with such a major change as this was. Please keep us informed of any issues, so we can address them quickly for you.
This month, as we launch into beautiful Spring tomorrow, we talk a little about our Jewel, the latest in our Mottura by Vertilux collection, we have an update on Vertical colours, Members Info and a Price reduction and more.
So please read on to find all our August new.
PS: A very Happy Fathers Day to all those fathers out there for next Sunday 6 September.
Your innovative Vertilux team
JEWEL BY NAME, JEWEL BY NATURE |
|
|
|
Many of our new fabrics sit well with the current design and décor direction that the 2015 discerning buyer expects. These new fabrics show off their range of neutral colours, glamorous greys, bronze hues, and a little sparkle as well. However, none of our fabrics meet this expectation as well as Jewel Translucent and Room Darkening. We have woven a silver thread through the fabric to give such a beautiful sparkle, truly lovely as the light touches it. Whilst there are only 3 colours to select from in each of the opacities, the 3 colours must be seen to be really appreciated, particularly the Room Darkening. Jewel Translucent and Room Darkening |

CONTINUAL WEBSITE REVIEW
|
|
  |
As we go forward we can’t stress enough that we want to make our website an easy tool to use and work within – both for you and as you work with your customers. Have you utilised the Blind Fabric filtering tool yet? This will help quickly show the fabrics that you are looking for under filters such as: our Greenvision range; Options range; Translucent, Transparent or Room Darkening. See image on top left, this is just a snip of the full range of fabrics to select from. The image below shows the fabrics that are available when you check the ‘Translucent’ tab. That tab then highlights in orange to tell you which tab you are in. Happy clicking…and don’t forget to let us know what other features you would like to see. We have lots more coming your way over the next few months, so we could be working on just the item that you would wish for, to make your work day easier. Blind fabric ranges click here |

You asked for it and we deliver! We released Madison Two with the new colour Knight, but only with Grey Backing. You have told us that you also want the standard White Backing to be included into the range. So indeed, that is what we will have in stock for you soon. Stock has been ordered and should arrive around the second week of September. Once stock arrives we will get it off to sampling so that you can add it into your brand new Retail Case Samplers. So feel free to order it now, but please keep in mind that we are awaiting stock to arrive. |
