Visual search tools compare a photo with a catalogue of images and suggest similar items. In textiles, it can help buyers find a print or texture quickly.
Where it helps
- Finding prints or colours similar to a reference
- Searching large design libraries
- Narrowing options before requesting samples
Limits for fabric
A photo shows colour and pattern, but not weight, composition, stretch or handfeel. Two fabrics that look the same can perform very differently.
Best approach
- Use a photo to start the conversation
- Add the specs you know: GSM, fibre, use
- Send a physical swatch for an accurate match
Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will suggest close qualities.
