Imperial Trellis Knock-Off
Ever since I posted about a year and a half ago about the fabric I found that resembles Kelly Wearstler's "Imperial Trellis," I've received so many emails asking about it. I picked it up for $18.99/yard at Britex Fabrics — second floor, home décor section. It's called "Tango."
Earlier today, I stopped by Britex to look for some fabric for our entry table and came across the trellis knock-off in two different colorways. The citrine/ivory combination is no longer available, but these are:
The seafoam is so pretty, but I couldn't think of a place to use it in our house. I bought a few yards of the brown/ivory and I'm sure I'll come up with a project for it. Someday.
Comments
Can that fabric be found on the internet anywhere? I do not live in San Fransisco and can not afford Kelly Wearstler. I search for Tango farbic, but find nothing? Any suggestions?

Lindsey - Success! I found a couple of sites selling the fabric in different colorways -- and even cheaper than Britex!
several colors ($11/yard):
http://www.interiormall.com
black and ivory version ($19.49/yard):
http://www.discountfabricsusacorp.com/
Just enter "Tango" in the search box on these sites.

i went to interiormall.com today to order some of the citrine for my bedroom curtains, and was told that the tango manufacturer is being sued by schumacher and is discontinuing the fabric line. woe was me, as they didn't have enough for my curtains. so if you really want some of the knock-off fabric, i'd suggest buying now!

Guilty as charged! I was one of many hounding you for trellis info and you were so gracious to share all the scoop! :) Thanks so much for the heads up about Britex again. Loving the new seafoam.

I am obsessed with the brown/ivory trellis you found at Britex. Looks like interior mall doesn't have this color way. I need about 16 yards! Help :) Have you seen it anywhere else? I'll call Britex tomorrow and see if they have any left. Thanks.

Hi,
This is Charles from Discount Fabrics USA. We purchased this fabric from a company called World Wide Fabrics about two years ago. It was a nice enough pattern- and needless to say, we weren't familiar with the fabric this design aped. It's fairly common for low end companies to do this and get away with it.
We sold most of our stock to the crew at Extreme Home Makeover- and were made aware that World Wide Fabrics had to dump its remaining inventory and was facing a lawsuit (which will probably be dropped b/c its not worth pursuing)...
We are now sold out of the fabric and not likely to stock it again.
