All our designs woven on Jacquard looms are unique innovative designs. They cannot be bought elsewhere. Competitors who try to copy us are copying old designs. John England is constantly producing new creations often inspired by things we see in the world around us. We find it is often interesting for customers to hear the story behind each design. Our designers travel widely to gain new inspiration.
