Calico Corners

What Calico Corners does

Calico Corners is a US specialty home decorating retailer operating 50+ design shops across 28 states under parent company Everfast Inc., founded in 1948 and headquartered in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The company sells over 5,000 designer fabrics, trims, and wallpapers sourced from mills in Belgium, Ireland, and the American Southeast, alongside custom window treatments (drapes, shades, valances, cornices), Hunter Douglas branded window products, custom furniture, custom bedding, cushions, pillows, and reupholstery services. Its technology stack centers on a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront complemented by the proprietary C360 visualization tool, which renders finished custom products in selected fabrics for customer preview, and an online swatch ordering system that lowers purchase friction.

The business model combines high-touch in-store design consultations (in-store, in-home, and virtual) with DTC e-commerce, targeting affluent homeowners and interior design professionals through a To-The-Trade program, with families and pet owners served via performance fabric partnerships (Sunbrella, Crypton, Bella Dura, Inside Out). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of custom and designer products priced by the yard or by quote, with fabric pricing ranging from approximately $5 to $400+ per yard. A Synchrony Financial-backed private label credit card offering 0% APR promotional financing (6 months standard, 12 months for $5,000+ purchases) supports higher-ticket custom orders. The company employs 501–1000 people and is operated as a retail subsidiary of Everfast Inc., with no disclosed funding rounds or recent M&A activity in the source data.
