Just arrived today....new price list from H&M and Jessica Charles effective 01/17/11. A quick glance shows everything has an increase on the order of 3% or so.
Lots of fabric and leather drops as well. Here's the H&M leathers that are no longer available. I'm going to miss Plaza Honey - what a great hide, and the entire Lucas series.

Duane - do you have a comparable listing of fabrics that will no longer be offered? We're still holding on our order for sofas and chairs. I'll have to deal with the price increase. thanks.
Here they are....I will be doing some more scans of current leathers and fabrics over the next few days as well.

Thanks Duane! We are purchasing our area rugs first, then going to upholstery. Right now, we're leading toward the Foster, Jamie, Bedons, Westwood, and Lewis series of fabrics. I'm thankful none of those are being d/c'ed. Once we get the rugs selected, we'll be able to proceed with the fabrics for the sofa(s) and chairs.
Just a side note - have you had any experience with those fabrics? Foster is 100% hemp, Bedons is 100% linen, and the rest are blends. My husband loves Westwood - it looks like corduroy. Have you ever seen a sofa made up in a corduroy fabric? I'm just wondering how that would turn out.
I decided to scan and post all the current leather and fabrics at H&M, you can see them here:

I sell 99% of all my H&M in leather, so I have VERY limited hands-on experience with their fabrics! Almost none...<confession>...while I have all the leathers committed to memory, I have to go look up all the fabrics on my sample handles. Yes, I've done corduroy sofas in the past and they do come out nice, and tend to be hard-wearing materials.
