Deadstock fabrics are textiles left unsold by a fabric mill or leftover from a brand's production run. We have a fantastic selection of these ex-designer fabrics at Minerva and new options are arriving every month.
Our Minerva deadstock collection is full of rare gems and luxury designer textiles, many of which have come from luxury design houses or high-end high street brands. They are a super way to get a designer look at home and save fabrics from landfill into the bargain.
The latest pattern from Tilly and the Buttons is available now at Minerva. The Manon Jacket is a two-in-one pattern for creating a gorgeous trench-style jacket or pea coat-inspired look.
Like all Tilly and the Buttons patterns, Manon is available in UK sizes 6-34 (US 2-30) and comes with Tilly's award-winning photo step-by-step instructions.
