Bespoke Eiderdowns
Using your own fabrics
There are so many beautiful fabrics out there, and it’s impossible to feature them all. That’s why Dearest Violet offers a bespoke service, perfect for both interior designers and home-makers looking to create a truly individual eiderdown.
You can have your eiderdown made using your own fabric, giving you complete freedom to match your vision. Customers are responsible for sourcing the fabrics.
I will need to consult with you regarding your choice of fabric, size and edging etc. This can take a few emails to ensure you receive exactly what you want. Please email me here.
Choosing your fabric
For the softest, loftiest eiderdown, quilting cottons, medium-weight cottons, and linens work best. Heavier fabrics can be used, but may slightly reduce the loft, softness and weight of your finished eiderdown.
Lead time & payment
Each eiderdown is handmade to order. Payment is taken when your eiderdown is ready to post. Current dispatch time is around 8 weeks from receipt of fabric, though I always aim to keep the wait as short as possible.

Crafted to last
Every eiderdown is handmade in the traditional English way, soft, plump, and designed to last for generations.
