View the Collections - By Appointment Only

While many of the COVID restrictions have been lifted, the safety and protection of customers and Pongees employees is still of paramount concern, so we will continue to operate a “by appointment” system to view the Pongees and Sanmartin collections in our very popular London showroom.

Opening Hours

Our London showroom is open every week day, 10am to 4pm.

Make your appointment to see the Pongees and Sanmartin collections by contacting us by email or calling us on + 44 (0) 20 7739 9130.

More than 1,000 Samples

In the comfort of our luxury space in Shoreditch, close to Old Street tube station, you can find more than 1,000 samples of Pongees quality silks, laces and fancies – minimum order 1metre.

We can provide expert advice about the various qualities to ensure that you select the appropriate fabric- and shades- for your collection. We welcome buyers from all sectors of the industry, including established and fledgling designers, costumiers, seamstresses and students.

Our showroom has swatches, shade cards and catalogues to take away or delivered to your preferred address, with next day delivery available.

Showroom Collection Service

The Pongees van is back on the road so we can arrange to have your order delivered FREE to our showroom for collection. If you order before 10am in the morning there’s a chance you could pick up your fabric from Chapel Place later the same day.

Sanmartin Bridal and Haute Couture

Pongees represents Sanmartin, a well-established Portuguese supplier in the UK, so also on display are its bridalwear, haute couture fancy and sustainable ranges to provide an even greater choice of fabrics available with low minimums.

Bargain Buys

All clients, including students and start ups, can benefit from buying our clearance stock, samples of which are in the showroom. SAVE UP TO 50%. You can also see what’s available online.

Who's Talking about the Showroom?

I’ve received the silk safe and sound - it’s beautiful. I’m really impressed with the whole service and will recommend you to anyone I think you can help! My dressmaker will also do the same”

Katie B

The thing that amazes me is the level of communication from you. You deserve to succeed because you care, you communicate and this clearly comes across

Richard Lawson

A veritable wonderland of silks, the Showroom offers both natural and synthetic mixes in (almost) every glorious hue imaginable! Louis is amazing - incredibly helpful and welcoming - and I never leave disappointed. The best customer service I have ever received, and my favourite silk shop! Would highly recommend to any student or designer

Hannah Green

Pongees is a big advocate of helping next-generation designers. I often feel intimidated going to other wholesalers as my minimums are low, but Pongees welcomes all customers - from students to start-ups.

Travelling to the showroom

The best method is by public transport as we are only minutes away from Old Street station and conveniently located to arrive by bus too. However, if you are driving, then please note that the showroom is in a new ultra low emission zone, so there is no access to Rivington Street and Charlotte Road between 7am and 10am and 4pm to 7pm, unless your vehicle is compliant, of course.
