Filigree Holdings

What Filigree Holdings does

Filigree Holdings Ltd is a privately held, family-owned UK manufacturer and supplier of soft furnishings, headquartered in Ripley, Derbyshire, with a second manufacturing and warehouse site in Nottingham. The company's product portfolio spans lace and voile sold by the metre, readymade curtains, made-to-measure voiles, made-to-measure curtains, made-to-measure blinds, tableware, and Brise Bise window treatments, with the Finesse Made to Measure sub-brand organizing the offering into Sheers, Fabrics, and Blinds divisions. Manufacturing uses an in-house production model for made-to-measure finishing at facilities exceeding 100,000 sq ft, supported by automated cutting equipment such as the M1 Ultimate XY cutting machine installed in 2019; heavy weaving and knitting were transferred offshore in 2002 to manage cost competitiveness.

Filigree Holdings serves UK trade customers (retailers and soft-furnishings businesses) as its primary go-to-market, supported by a trade toolkit that includes a wide product range, high-volume stock holding, an ordering app, store stands, swatches, sample books, and showroom samples. The company does not publicly disclose pricing and operates exclusively within the UK domestic market. Its positioning as one of the largest suppliers of sheer curtains in the UK and a brand lineage tracing to 1850 (originally Mr Browne & Co, renamed Filigree in 1970) underpin its trade-channel value proposition of curated design and quality at affordable prices with UK manufacturing standards.
