Fabric Library

What Fabric Library does

Fabric Library is a B2B decorative and upholstery fabric distributor headquartered in Dubai, UAE, serving interior designers, architects, furniture manufacturers, contractors, hospitality operators, wholesalers, and retailers across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The company was established as a corporate entity in 2022 and is family-owned by the Doshi and Neiman families, whose combined textile-business experience spans approximately 140 years; it operates as part of the Belgium-based Bru Group and sources the bulk of its collections from Bru Textiles in Belgium, with locally-stocked inventory in Dubai.

The company's product portfolio is organized around seven sub-brands: Fabric Library (house brand), FibreGuard (stain-free), FR-One (fire retardant), FibreGuard Outdoor (antimicrobial outdoor performance), Mercis (upholstery), Sansaar (luxury), and Twinbru (digital texture services). Underlying technology includes a Twinbru-powered digital fabric library containing 13,000+ photo-realistic digital twins accessible globally through textures.twinbru.com, plus a free 3ds Max plugin built on Material X for design visualization. The portfolio is supported by multiple third-party certifications — STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 (currently 80% of supply chain), ISO 27001, GRS, OCS, REACH, and PFAS/VOC-free claims — with fabrics tested in Bru's ISO 17025-accredited laboratory.

Fabric Library generates revenue through wholesale distribution of decorative, performance, and sustainable textiles under a sales-led B2B go-to-market model. Go-to-market combines a Dubai-based direct sales team, a physical showroom in JLT Dubai, branch offices in Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and three Saudi Arabian cities (Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar), and partner distributors in adjacent GCC markets. Pricing is quote-based for B2B customers and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is multi-channel, spanning the company website, WhatsApp, a digital sample request system, and active presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and TikTok targeting interior designers and commercial project teams.
