Thank you for your e-mail, I will answer your questions as best I can.
What are the advantages of using pattern books?
Pattern books are excellent for being able to touch and feel fabrics/papers. Also some designs are available in different weights, (linens/cottons).
So customers are able to choose which weight they prefer a design in.
What are the disadvantages of using pattern books?
From our point of view, holding stock of books is difficult with limited space and also they are very expensive but necessary if
you want to advertise that you supply latest collections.
Do you feel there is a future for pattern books? If so, what changes might there be?
I do feel there NEEDS to be a future for books, maybe in a smaller version, but with a facility to have access to large samples!!!!
Do you feel pattern books are a crucial part of the consumer purchasing journey?
Yes, I do. Personally I would not want to purchase without looking at a book, also it is helpful to see other co-ordinating fabrics in the same collection.
Do you feel pattern books fully show-off and display a collection appropriately?
Not always. Tricia Guild from Designer Guild always has very large scale designs. Her fabrics are very expensive and often an image is attached to a small sample
of fabric, so yes you can feel the quality but you can not see the over all design.
Hope this is helpful.

I am currently in my final year of university studying Fashion Communication and Promotion at Nottingham Trent University. For my first research module I am looking at the role of pattern books in the fashion and interior industries, and what the future may be for them. I wondered do you use/ have you used pattern books? If so I wondered if you had a few moments to spare to answer these five short questions. Any response would be greatly appreciated!
