THE AXIS BUILDING, 91 LOWER ST GEORGES BAY ROAD, SUITE 1.4

hosted by Signature Prints - owners and guardians of the entire Florence Broadhurst design library. It promises to have all sorts of fabrics, wallpapers and products available - it won't be necessarily cheap but I know it will be entirely gorgeous.

Broadhurst is an absolute enigma, with a dubious past as colourful as her designs. So, even if fabric isn't your thing - I highly recommend the biography on her by Helen O'Neill if you're starting to think about a holiday read.
