Join us on a journey to England to visit the Weaver Green showroom and immerse yourself in the world of this unique textile brand. Insider report.
Cornwall, United Kingdom, August 2026
On our tour through England and Wales in the summer of 2026, we depart on a quiet morning
the small bay of Port William, accompanied by a delicate rainbow, heading east with a special destination: Heron Valley, near Kingsbridge and Salcombe, South Devon.
Our route takes us, as it has in recent days and quite typical for Cornwall, through a beautiful, rural region without a motorway, but with narrow, very narrow, and even older country lanes bordered on both sides by the "Cornish hedges"—approximately 4,000-year-old, lushly overgrown dry stone walls built by Neolithic farmers that still exist today. Oases for countless (micro) creatures that have spread across Cornwall like a floral spiderweb.
In the middle of nowhere, it seems, the first clue to our destination: the Welcome sign to the HERON VALLEY ORCHARDS. (Orchard means fruit grove, orchard, fruit plantation)
The sign is beautifully designed, and right in the middle we discover what we are looking for:
WEAVER GREEN SHOWROOM
We've arrived at the headquarters of one of our partners and are incredibly excited to immerse ourselves in their world, discover new collections, and see everything live and in one place. We're also eager to experience the vibe of this fascinating brand, explore its place of origin, and with a bit of luck, maybe even meet some of the team. (They're currently on holiday here, and most of them are on their annual leave.)
The entrance to the orchards is already impressive: endless meadows of flowers, interspersed with countless fruit trees, and nestled in the hollow, the simple wooden building surrounded by planters and countless strings of lights. The orchards seem to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape of fields and forests. It couldn't be more idyllic.
We park our car in the shade, as England hasn't escaped the heatwave either, and head towards the showroom. Roses climb the wooden facade, while lush agapanthus and catmint create the romantic cottage scene one expects in England. Strings of lights hint at the wonderful atmosphere that must be in the evenings. The covered veranda houses antique wooden furniture that exudes a rustic vintage charm. The unique flooring catches the eye and testifies to the creativity that has found its way into this space – a mix of slate tiles and pebbles arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Natural branches have been used for decoration here and there. Amidst all this, the first Weaver Green cushions appear. The seats of the old chairs have been reupholstered with the carpet fabric. One cozy corner follows another. Could it get any more beautiful, I wonder.
We continue walking around the house and enter the ever-expanding gravel area. Numerous lushly planted wooden and zinc troughs create individual garden rooms. A simple steel dome spans some of the troughs. At the far end of the area, a wooden pergola offers a fantastic view of the landscape – we've found the on-site café.
Although it's a weekday and in the morning, the cafe is very busy and already quite full, outside
Inside, the café and showroom form a single unit, allowing us to enter both simultaneously. With this fusion, Weaver Green has succeeded in bringing the showroom to life. Every seat in the café is furnished with handwoven products: cushions, blankets, rugs, stools… You experience the products in everyday use, seeing the possible combinations and the durability of the textiles. The entire space is bright and welcoming, colorful and cozy, with floors and furnishings made of natural wood. The decor isn't entirely typical of a café; there are large family tables as well as a comfortable sofa area right by the fireplace, naturally upholstered in Weaver Green.
My first stop is the back, the separate exhibition room. Here you'll find all the cushion collections, arranged by color. Numerous new designs with exciting patterns and vibrant hues. There are also delicate floral patterns in equally subtle colors. I'm completely surrounded by textiles – carpets on the floor, cushions and other textiles on and along the walls, and lengths of fabric stretched across the ceiling.
A familiar object catches my attention:
A carpet forms a canopy over some
Cushions. Branches as posts, an old wooden trough supports the cushions. A lamp made of natural materials hangs from the ceiling, and dried flowers dangle from it. This is a symbol of the Weaver Green brand, which contributes to environmental protection by gently repurposing discarded PET bottles into sustainable textiles. Weaver Green cares deeply about nature and practices resource conservation every day.
The showroom is managed by Katy, one of the Weaver Green women, and designed together with the founder, Tasha. It undergoes regular changes, as she tells us. A lot of love and individuality has gone into it, and you can feel it.
In the front room next to the cafe, I can see the carpets on the walls. A complete overview of all the collections. The colors and patterns are simply beautiful.
Here I also rediscover some "old friends": the herringbone quilts that keep us so wonderfully warm in winter. I'm always impressed anew when all those beautiful colors are lined up side by side.
In addition, the table linen is on display, including further samples of tablecloths and napkins, as well as stools and poufs.
Weaver Green's product range is now so extensive that it can almost furnish an entire house, and yes, that's a dream :-)
And then there's another surprise:
Miranda has already returned from her vacation and greets us warmly. We take another stroll together, learn that the showroom is to be expanded, and exchange information about our experiences and future collaboration. Since the founding of Magnolia Outdoors, Miranda has been one of the contacts at Weaver Green, whose team consists mainly of women.
We enjoyed lunch at the café; the food is regional and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the Cornish pasties. And of course, the apple juice from their own orchard. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Heron Valley and its positive and relaxed atmosphere, and we return home impressed and inspired.
A delicious slice of carrot cake and a hot chocolate to say goodbye – Goodbye Weaver Green! See you soon @Magnolia Outdoors in Pfaffhausen!
