Our Story

More Than
Just Fabric

We're a small, passionate team in the heart of Howick — bringing creativity, craftsmanship and community together one stitch at a time.

How It Started

A Legacy Stitched
Into Every Thread

Amber's Fabric & Furniture has been a cornerstone of Howick's creative community for over 10 years. But the story runs deeper — Elaine, the driving force behind the business, brings with her an extraordinary 54 years of experience in the fabric industry.

We started as a passion project rooted in love for textiles, craftsmanship and community. What began small has grown into Howick's most complete fabric destination — offering everything from upholstery to custom curtains, handmade lifestyle goods and full furniture refurbishment.

You'll find us at The Big Shed on Campbell Road — right near the SPCA in Howick. Walk in, feel the fabric between your fingers, and let us help you find exactly what you need.
