Now that I have my thrift store chairs that need to be completely re-done, I am more determined than ever to find this Ralph Lauren fabric over which I have been obsessing for years!
It is discontinued - that I know but some furniture stores still have it and they won't sell it to me unless it is on - well - a piece of furniture! LOL I know a bolt is just sitting somewhere in a store or clearing house. I mean really - how many people want tennis racquet upholstered furniture in their house? I am thinking only a select few so there has to be some of this stuff around SOMEWHERE! There is white with blue racquets but just as hard to find! I know Townhouse Galleries - a furniture store chain in Alabama lists it on their website but they have never responded to my attempts. And there is no way I would ever pay the $275/yard MSRP. An on-line fabric store had it on clearance for $24.95 a yard but I was too late! INFO:
It is by Ralph Lauren - Tennis Club Embroidery - Navy. It is a navy blue cotton fabric with white embroidered tennis racquets.

That is all I know about it - it used to be on the Ralph Lauren Home website but no more. If you ever come across any information about this fabric or see it somewhere - PLEASE contact me! I will esteem you forever and be eternally grateful! Who says love means nothing to a tennis player? THANK YOU!
Perhaps this is a lame solution but trolling ebay once a week is a good idea. I would not search "RL" but "tennis racquet fabric" in the hopes that someone has no idea what the manufacturer or designer is.
ReplyDeleteI got 2.5 yards of Brunschwig that retails for $300ish for $20 total.
Thanks Kerry! About a year ago I did get a 1 x 1 foot sample of the white material for $5 on ebay but I will continue the search! Your score was amazing - NICE!

ReplyDeleteHello - THANK YOU! My search is now complete thanks to your comment. I found the navy blue with white racquets in England courtesy of a helpful reader. Now I have the white with navy blue racquets. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help - that was so very sweet! Thank you again and have a great day today! :-)
