Hi Louise, thanks for that. yes I am in Sydney wanting to do slip covers. I do have an upholsterer though. Where abouts in Sydney are you?

For anyone looking for a linen colour without the continuous washing or ironing, be it a slip cover or re-upholstering a sofa, consider a crypton fabric. I have this on my sofa at home in Warwick's Tritan plains colour 'Pebble' (I sell club and hotel furniture so use crypton a lot). Its water repellent so liquid spills can be wiped off before it penetrates the fabric (less washing) and is washable if it gets dirty. Its a great alternative to linen because you can have the light colour and weave texture but without so many headaches with maintenance. The only drawback is it does not have any stretch like normal fabric so may not be able to be made in slipcovers for all sofa shapes. There are many Australian suppliers of cryptons but the best for price per meter and colour range are Warwick and Wortley Group.

Hi Louise,

I am still trying to find a suitable white washable fabric for My sofa and chair slip covers. Would you be interested in giving me a quote? I am in Roselle, and I can send photos

If Louise is unable to help, have a look at Comfort Works. They started doing covers for Ikea and now also do custom. They have a free sample service also.

Ok thanks, I will!

Hi Liliskitchen,
Can you clarify if you are looking for fabric supply or the finished product?

HI Louise, I have had a quote from an upholsterer but I can go elsewhere...but I am just having difficulty finding a good fabric.

Hi Dale, I’m not in a position to supply just fabric.

All the best, Louise, Decoro Custom Interiors - Window Treatment Specialist, Sydney

fabricstudio.com.au have a fabulous range of fabrics including Warwick. They sell directly to the public.

Absolutely! I was on the same hunt a few months ago — we have a dog who loves the couch a little too much, so washable was non-negotiable. I ended up finding some amazing sofa covers in Australia that were not only neutral and breathable (hello, linen!) but also super easy to take off and clean. Honestly, a total game-changer.

There are a few Aussie-based sellers that specialize in loose linen covers — and the best part is, some even offer custom sizing, which saved me the headache of constant slipping or weird fits. If you're after something that looks natural but still holds up to real life (kids, pets, spills… the usual chaos), it’s definitely worth checking out a few local options. Happy couch-refreshing!
