Joyfulness in your fabrics!

Does your home lack a touch of decoration? Are you sad to see that jacket or dress that suits you so well fade away? Then why not decorate your fabrics with Setacolor? A floral design here, a decorative scroll there, and then the item becomes transformed! For denser effects choose the bright luminous colours of the Setacolor Opaque range. Setacolor Opaque Shimmer colours add a subtle luster and sparkle. For light fabrics choose the lighter Setacolor Transparent colours, being light, they leave the finest and most delicate fabrics soft and light, all that's needed to fix the the colour is a little ironing.
