Hello, I’m Mandi, the owner of Fleethaven Upholstery. Based in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District, my work primarily centres around the vibrant market towns of Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton, although I have been known to stray into neighbouring counties!
I was born on the Lincolnshire coast, where my dad ran his own furniture business for over 20 years and two of my uncles trained as French Polishers. So it’s no surprise that the art of upholstery captured my imagination just when I needed a new direction, an injection of creativity and a renewed focus.
After experimenting with different furniture styles and fabrics, I began selling at Artisan fairs and markets, where I quickly realised that eye-catching, high-quality, bespoke pieces are in demand.
I’m always inspired by bright, colourful fabric designs that make people smile and I specialise in small, individual, one-off pieces, using modern upholstery techniques or traditional craft methods, as appropriate.
Please take a look at my other pages, to see what services I offer, examples of my work and how I can help if you have an enquiry.
