Tetrad has always led the field in offering distinctive, high-quality fabrics in a range of colours and textures, from cosseting checks and herringbones, characterful hand-antiqued leathers to alluring velvets in jewel-like colours that will bring any scheme to life.

The beauty of Bagru
The Tetrad Bagru collection celebrates the ancient art of Bagru. Born out of a collaboration with local artisans, this charming print is printed on to a heavy-weight natural cotton that has been stonewashed to give an authentic aged look. Available in a variety of beautiful colours inspired by the region of Jaipur, each print is handmade, making no two pieces the same.
