Nomad Surplus Luxury Textiles is a fabric shop with a difference.

Established in 2022 by Philippa Farnese, we sell luxury knitted and woven fabrics produced in the UK. Our cashmere, wool, linen and silk fabrics are considered by the mills to be surplus, samples, seconds or waste and are sold by weight, or as products and kits.


What Our Customers & Partners Say

Nomad SLT has been a fantastic partner for us. Not only do Nomad take some of our textile waste that would have gone to destruction, but they are also able to show the public the creative opportunities for up cycling textile waste.
— Fiona MacDonald, Sustainability Manager Alex Begg, Ayr
As a rug maker, it’s important to keep the rag rug tradition going and  Nomad’s cashmere tape are literally heaven sent for rug makers. The fact that its recycled is a huge bonus for me and adds a valuable story to my work
— Lu Mason, Artist, York
We are delighted to be working with Nomad to give a new life to some of our waste and discontinued fabrics. I always find it heartbreaking when we need to dispose of very high-quality fabrics, just because they are smaller lengths, or from a range which has been dropped. Finding a new life for these products is very important to us and Nomad is making that possible.
— Simon Cotton CEO The Isle Mill, Perth
At Bute Fabrics we are proud to have been working in partnership with Nomad since its inception, as an active member of its supply chain. Sustainability and waste minimisation are very important to us and seeing how Nomad’s customers find novel ways of upcycling our surplus materials into beautifully crafted products is both satisfying and inspiring.
