VAT / Taxes / Duties
For all orders with a shipping address in an EU country, VAT will be charged with the order, unless a valid EU VAT number is entered during the ordering process.
For shipping addresses outside the EU, no VAT will be charged in the order. However, the taxes / duties / import costs must be paid in your own country. This can also be requested by the carrier (usually UPS) before the package is delivered.
For the amount of taxes/duties/import costs, we advise you to inquire with the local tax authorities.
How do I pay for my orders?
Shop for the items you want and add it to your shopping cart. When you have finished, you can proceed to your shopping cart and check out. Check and ensure that all information is correct before confirming your purchases and payment.
- Paypal, Creditcard: Maestro, American Express, Mastercard & Visa, iDEAL, Bancontact, Sofort ( Klarna ), Bank deposit
Everyone can order - B2C & B2B
Everyone can benefit from lower prices when purchasing larger quantities per design/uni color, so you don’t need a wholesale account anymore. You can order from one meter, but also per 6 meters, 10 meters, etc. The prices of 10 meters are almost the same as the previous wholesale prices. The more you order, the more attractive the price.
If you have a EU VAT number, you must fill it in during the ordering process and pay the rates excluding VAT. You will then pay the VAT/taxes later in your own country.
When you live outside the EU, you don’t fill in a VAT number. Based on your address, the prices excluding VAT are automatically displayed. You then pay the import costs and taxes in your own country.

How to care about the fabrics
Washing instructions
Caring for Your Family Fabrics Creations
At Family Fabrics, we use eco-friendly, water-based inks to bring your designs to life. To keep your creations looking vibrant for years to come, a little extra care goes a long way!
Wash with Love. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30C, 400rpm to preserve those bright cheerful colors. Choose a phosphate-free detergent and avoid bleach or harsh stain removers to protect the fabric and print.
Handle with Care
The fabric is most delicate when wet- do not rub to prevent damage. Skip the tumble dryer! Air drying is the best way to keep your fabric in top shape.
Ironing Tips: Use a low heat setting and always iron on the reverse side of the print to prevent fading
Unique Color Variations: Every fabric base has its own unique texture, meaning printed colors may vary slightly depending on the material—adding to its charm!
Why Does My Fabric Smells a bit like vinegar? No worries—this is completely normal! We use eco-friendly, water-based dyes, and vinegar component acts as a natural fixer to keep colors vibrant. The scent will disappear after the first wash, leaving you with a safe, chemical-free garment to enjoy!
By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your favorite pieces looking fresh and beautiful for longer.
