EMPORIA
We are an independent fabric and pattern company based in a shop in Park Mall, Ashford, where we also sell local school uniforms.
Social Impact
Being part of the sewing community means that we frequently talk to sewists and other crafters about their projects and assist where we can by answering queries.
We supply fabrics for sewing teachers and donate leftover materials and other by-products from our industry to primary schools for independent play or art and craft projects. We currently sell uniforms for three local secondary schools (Ashford, Hythe, and Canterbury based) and for one primary school (Ashford), plus generic extras for children of all ages, which puts us at the heart of the town center for parents in our area. Knowing that many people have been put under strain by the current financial climate, we offer Clearpay for school uniform purchases so that payments can be spread over a longer period of time.
