Quintessential Cambridge Ltd

Our commitment to quality is underpinned by continuous attention to detail, great customer service and offering the best.

Our British designed collections are constantly inspired by fabric and colour with a nod to trends but without being controlled by them.

We work in collaboration with a number of British institutions like
the RHS and Collier Campbell to ensure a point of difference.

Our products are manufactured in both China & India. We have regular teleconferences with our suppliers as well as in-country meetings and factory visits.

We have also been working with many of our factories for many years.

OUR STORY

As some of you may know we (Carlos & Paul) started the business in 1997 selling furniture from Thailand on a market stall in picturesque Cambridge.

Realising that furniture is bulky and hard to store (!) we were given an opportunity to have fabric cushions, bedspreads and pashmina brought over from India and this is where our love for colour began.

We continued on the market while Paul started knocking on doors and by 1999 we managed to get enough finance together to go to India and we spent 2 months travelling and sourcing fabrics from Kerala to Nepal.

In 2001 we did our first trade show at Top Drawer. This was the launch pad and the company has gone from strength to strength.

We now launch 2 collections a year, Spring/Summer & Autumn /Winter, and exhibit at trade shows around the UK.
