Description from the seller
Decorative Hot Air Balloon Fabric – Vintage Travel Style
Evocative furnishing fabric featuring a dense dance of vintage-inspired hot air balloons, as if taken from antique aeronautical charts and Grand Tour maps. The finely illustrated balloons feature alternating red, ivory and gray stripes with gold details and small ornamental motifs, set against a light background with faint technical drawings and balloon structures. The effect is poetic and slightly retro: a textile sky that invites travel, discovery and imagination.
Ideal for anyone who loves travel, nautical or industrial chic style, this fabric adds both lightness and character to a room. Perfect for living rooms, children’s bedrooms, creative studios, holiday homes or travel-themed B&Bs, it pairs easily with both light-colored furniture and warm woods and bronze-toned metals.
Ideal for:
Light decorative curtains and striking room dividers
Cushions, sofa covers, headboards and fabric wall paneling
Tablecloths, runners, wall panels and covers for trunks or benches
Creative sewing projects: bags, travel sacks, organizers, accessories for children’s rooms

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – SHIPPING AND PURCHASES
HOW IS THE FABRIC SHIPPED?
We ship by express courier with a tracking number. The fabric is carefully folded and packed to protect it during transit.
CAN I BUY MULTIPLE LOTS AND SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS?
Certainly! Pay for one lot and contact us via Catawiki chat before paying for the others. We will check whether the lots can be combined into a single shipment and whether we can offer up to 50% off the shipping costs for additional lots.
IS THE DISCOUNT ALWAYS AVAILABLE?
Not always. Whether shipments can be combined, and the amount of any discount, depend on the size and weight of the individual lots and logistical requirements. In some cases, separate shipments are necessary because the lots are stored in different locations.

Shipping costs already paid cannot be reversed or refunded to apply the discount retroactively. If you were unaware of this option, please still contact us via Catawiki chat: we will be happy to consider, at our discretion, a commercial offer—for example, for a future purchase—or other solutions. This is an optional possibility, not an automatic or guaranteed discount.
CAN I COLLECT THE LOT IN PERSON OR USE MY OWN COURIER?
Personal collection is not available. Shipping is arranged by the seller through their own couriers; we do not accept shipping labels supplied by the buyer or shipments arranged using couriers selected directly by the buyer.
