FRET Fabrics
Fret Fabrics takes its name from the fret—an ancient ornamental pattern also known as the Greek Key or meander. One of humanity’s oldest known decorative motifs, it is composed of continuous, interlocking lines that turn at precise right angles, an enduring symbol of eternity, unity, and the infinite.
In that same spirit, Fret Fabrics honors timeless design that never goes out of style. With reverence for the enduring, we craft luxury offerings that blend heritage with modern sophistication, to create fabrics perfectly suited for today’s most refined interiors—and will remain so for generations to come.

North Shore Escape
Inspired by the grand estates, historic manors, and windswept beaches of Long Island’s North Shore—our company’s home—FRET Fabric’s January 2026 North Shore Escape collection embodies the Gold Coast’s timeless allure along the sparkling Long Island Sound.
North Shore Escape reimagines relaxed elegance for distinguished homes, blending vintage warmth, authenticity, and effortless sophistication into every piece. These are fabrics that drape like cherished heirlooms—never crisp or commercial, always softly refined.
