Supporting Designers Sourcing Fabric from Cocoon and Leading Textile Houses
Austin has become a vibrant hub for interior designers sourcing beautiful textiles from around the world. One of the most beloved stops for designers in the city is Cocoon, a designer trade-only showroom known for its incredible textile library and welcoming trade environment.
At The Great Curtain Company, we are proud to maintain a workroom partnership with Cocoon to the trade here in Austin, supporting designers who source fabrics from their showroom and need a trusted fabrication partner to bring those materials to life.
For many designers, Cocoon is where inspiration begins. Our workroom is where that inspiration becomes reality.
From carefully engineered custom drapery to tailored decorative panels and layered window treatments, our team works closely with designers to translate extraordinary fabrics into beautifully finished installations.
Behind the Workroom Where Fabric Becomes Finished Design
When designers bring home a stunning textile from Cocoon or another showroom, the next step is often the most critical: fabrication.
Our Austin workroom has spent more than two decades collaborating with designers to ensure that each project is fabricated with the precision and craftsmanship that high-end interiors demand.
From delicate sheers and intricate embroidery to heavyweight velvets and globally sourced textiles, our team understands how different fabrics behave and how to construct treatments that hang beautifully, function smoothly, and last for years.
Designers rely on us not only for sewing and fabrication, but also for the technical planning that ensures each installation is successful.
Supporting Designers Who Source Fabrics from Around the World
While we proudly support designers sourcing textiles from Cocoon in Austin, our workroom also regularly fabricates fabrics sourced from leading textile houses around the world.
Many of the projects we produce feature fabrics from renowned brands such as:
- Schumacher
- Kravet
- Fabricut
- Scalamandré
- Designers Guild
- Pierre Frey
and other highly detailed, globally respected fabric houses.
These textiles often include intricate weaves, delicate embroidery, complex repeats, or specialty finishes that require meticulous planning and expert fabrication.
Our team works carefully with each fabric type to ensure that pattern placement, seam construction, and fullness all support the designer’s original vision.
Because of this experience, designers frequently ship COM fabrics from showrooms across the country directly to our Austin workroom for fabrication.
A Collaborative Workroom Partner for Designers
Designers often tell us that one of the most valuable things a workroom can provide is support.
Our goal is to be a collaborative extension of the designer’s team. We help navigate the technical side of fabrication so designers can focus on the creative direction of their projects.
Our workroom services include:
- Reviewing fabric yardage before fabrication begins
- Planning pattern repeat placement and panel layout
- Handling COM fabric deliveries and inspection
- Fabricating custom drapery with proper fullness and weight
- Assisting with hardware selection and mounting strategy
- Coordinating with installers and project teams
Because every window and every fabric behaves differently, our approach is always thoughtful and project-specific.
Designers know they can call, send photos, or walk into our showroom to talk through ideas. We are always happy to collaborate.
Trusted by Designers in Austin and Across the Country
Although our showroom is based in Austin, the designers we work with manage projects all over the country.
Many of our designer clients source fabric locally in Austin showrooms like Cocoon, while others ship textiles directly from fabric houses across the United States and Europe.
Because our workroom regularly handles COM fabrics from a wide range of textile houses, we are comfortable working with fabrics sourced anywhere.
Our team simply coordinates shipping, verifies yardage, and begins planning fabrication so the designer’s project moves forward smoothly.
This flexibility allows designers to confidently source fabrics from their favorite showrooms and know they have a skilled workroom partner ready to execute the final product.
