We are delighted to announce that we have been granted a new Royal Warrant under King Charles III. This prestigious recognition extends our legacy of exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship for another five years.

We are especially proud to have held a Royal Warrant since 1933, following our long history of supplying the Royal Household with silks and furnishing fabrics since 1885.​ This new Royal Warrant honors our commitment to delivering exceptional quality and service, upholding the standards that have defined us for generations.​

Weaving through the 20th Century, our designs have featured in the most prestigious settings and socio-cultural events. Warner fabrics were, and continue to be, the pinnacle of style, refurbishing prestigious settings from the White House to the interior fabric for the RMS Titanic, and exhibiting at the Festival of Britain.

Our status as a distinguished heritage brand was sealed after weaving the cloth of gold for Edward 7th, providing fabrics for every Coronation since. As a result, the Warner brand has held the prestigious Royal Warrant for over nine decades, proudly servicing the crown.
