Free fabric for children

Amazing company who offer their spare fabric for postage only. Working with the community teaching children sewing skills from the age of 7 this free fabric has been a godsend as these children are from a very deprived area. The children love to get into the parcel and decide what we will make . Thank you so much .

Yasheshwari of Contrado was brilliant!!!!

Yasheshwari of Contrado was exceptionally helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I appreciate the fact helpful staff answered to phone instead of being connected to to an automated voice system. I received my products on time as promised and I has happy with the quality of goods received.

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. Bhavna helped me with a payment issue and followed up meticulously throughout the process of my order, making sure I was informed throughout. The range, customizability and quality of Contrado's products is impressive and I look forward to purchasing more.

I ONLY WANTED TO SIZE UP FROM SMALL TO MEDIUM IN MENS REGULAR TSHIRT BUT YOU'VE SENT ME A TSHIRT DRESS...

If I could give zero stars I would. PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN ORDERING FROM Contrado!!! I ordered a Medium Regular Tshirt from Contrado, I have ordered numerous size Small Mens Regular Tshirts in the past from Contrado. Nothing should have been different except the size (Grade up one size) Contrado have sent me a shirt that looks more like a Tshirt Dress. It is 12cms longer in length, the sleeves are 4cms longer and there is no Top stitch to stabilise the sleeve. I have been told by Contrado that their design has changed since the last time I ordered (which was last year) but the designs worn by the Contrado models on the Contrado website are exactly the same and there is NO literature to tell their customers that the Tshirts they will recieve will NOT look like it looks on their website. This is surely a Trading Standards issue. I have NOT been offered a re-cut (Contrado is out of Stock for the desired fabric). Instead I have been advised by Drishti of Contrado to iron the Tshirt...This is totally unacceptable and will NOT resolve the problems that I have flagged. I have been in this position with Contrado before and I have been extremely patient with Contrado. I had the belief that Contrado had resolved their production issues and when they get it right, their work is impressive, but this is an obvious issue and I have been as helpful as possible in describing and providing photographic evidence, as requested. I have also outlined the need for Contrado to be consistent with their production but unfortunately no one is listening and once again I have a paying client awaiting his order.

Reply from Contrado

My sincere apologies for your recent experience. I can certainly understand that you were expecting the new t-shirt size and pattern to match the one you purchased last year. As my colleague mentioned, we refined the pattern of the selected t-shirt this year, which may result in some differences. I'm pleased to hear that you liked the previous pattern, and I will certainly forward your feedback to the respective team.

Regarding the product images on our website, I apologise if they were deceiving. The pictures shown are of other product options (lifestyle poly jersey) with patterns resembling those on the website. We are continuously working to make our product information more straightforward and accessible for our customers.

I can see that one of our experienced team members is in touch with you and committed to resolving the issue to improve your experience.

We look forward to working with you to resolve this matter and regain your trust.

Once again, my sincere apologies.

Contrado is a good option for textile projects!

Contrado has always helped me for my textile projects. It offers different options of textiles, it is quick and for students the prices are very affordable. I have had minor problems with my prints from time to time and they always respond and fix things! Really recommend it.
Bhavna from the staff team was very helpful in my case.

These all over print T-shirts are incredible. The print is always really vibrant and the make quality is sublime. It’s very rare to find a company that will print onto the fabric and then make the garment and the quality really shows how well this works. I cannot see myself going anywhere else. It’s worth noting that as these are uniquely made on site the print is 100% crisp every time.

Disappointed is an understatement

Disappointed is an understatement.
This is my first time trying out contrado (and will be my last) and I've been completely misled to believe this company is capable of good customer service or good print quality regarding their print on demand service.

I had ordered a bedsheet custom made in adobe and provided a PDF.

I ordered a single sheet which then as seen on the website is cut and created by three separate pieces of fabric. If this is the case, my design should have been adequate for printing at this standard size and if not, WHY NOT CONTACT ME TO AMEND THE FILE BEFORE TAKING OVER $230.00!?!

They have offered only 15% refund for a gift I cannot give because the quality is aweful and blurry. Asking for photos to argue with me, not amend the situation.

I'm o a disability pension and I'm flawed at the audacity to not even check with the customer about the file quality. a PRINT ON DEMAND SERVICE SHOULD DEFINITELY PROVIDE REVISIONS before taking and completing an order and processing the funds.

I'm so disappointed and I do not want others to experience the level of dismissal of my distress and no attempt to offer a reprint to amend the situation nor a refund to cover even the postage costs.

I honestly would avoid unless you believe you know exactly the correct dimensions or are using vector files - I'm a graphic designer and my files were not good enough even though on my end, at 100% - my files were sharp, clear and great quality. Yet my product received was blurry and unfocused.

I can't believe this experience, genuinely.

EDIT: The team has spent a lot of time taking into consideration my experience and have rectified my order. It's currently on its way to me. I'm much more satisfied with my experience after putting forward my complaint through review on this website. MY issues have been addressed and I'm grateful for the efforts and consistency with resolution.

My partner adores his gift.

My sincere apologies for your disappointment with your recent experience. I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to receive a product that did not meet your expectations, especially when you had put time and effort into creating a design. 

I can understand that you were expecting the bedsheet to be a single piece of fabric. However, the selected size was larger than the roll width of the fabric. Hence, it is likely to be cut and stitched to achieve the selected dimensions. The design interface shows markings to indicate the stitch line when the specific sizes are selected. I am so sorry that it didn't get your attention. I will forward it to the team so they can make it more visible. 

My sincere apologies that the graphics didn't meet your expectations. I can see that one of our customer service team members is in touch with you here and is committed to improving your experience by resolving it together. 

We hope to regain your trust and provide you with a better experience. 

Once again, my sincere apologies.

It is a pleasure to work with Contrado

It is a pleasure to work with Contrado. They are always ready to help with problems that arise, especially with regard to the supply and delivery of products.
This week for example, we had a last minute order with a limited time to delivery the product.
I joined the chat and was pleased to receive help from Kajal, who made every effort to ensure the production and delivery were on time.
In fact, I was super surprised when I saw that the order was delivered even earlier than I expected.
The client was surprised, happy and grateful for what happened.

Exceptional Assistance in Designing Custom Ties

I had the pleasure of working with Bhavna for designing custom ties through the website. From the very beginning, her support and guidance were instrumental in making the process seamless and enjoyable.

Bhavna's expertise and understanding of the design platform allowed me to create my own tie design, tailored to my preferences. She patiently walked me through the options and adjustments, ensuring that my vision was accurately translated onto the design.

What truly stood out was Bhavna's commitment to accommodating my needs. She not only provided invaluable assistance in the design process but also went above and beyond by addressing my concerns about delivery timelines. When the option for express delivery wasn't available on the website, Bhavna took the initiative to help me out, understanding the urgency of the situation. This level of dedication and willingness to find solutions was truly exceptional.

Her timely communication and attention to detail were evident throughout our interactions. Bhavna's guidance not only enabled me to create a unique and personalized tie design but also showcased her commitment to ensuring a positive customer experience.

I'm incredibly grateful for Bhavna's assistance and support. Her professionalism, expertise, and customer-centric approach have left a lasting impression. Without a doubt, I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a seamless design experience.

Thank you, Bhavna, for making the process enjoyable and for being an instrumental part of bringing my design to life.

Best regards,
Laisa Rodrigues

I just got my first order from Contrado. I had ordered the fabric swatches which was a big help. I got 4 different fabric types printed with my own design. The quality is better than I was expecting and the turnaround time was faster than promised. This was my first time having my images printed on fabric and it is so exciting to me that it turned out so beautifully.

I only leave reviews when I'm massively impressed by a company's service. Contrado have been excellent in helping me handle a complicated order, deliver to a tight timescale, produce a beautiful product and communicate rapidly throughout. I've got total confidence in them and will order from them again. Shout out to Riddhi, who was really helpful.

Bhavna has always been the BEST…

Bhavna has always been the BEST customer service agent and has helped me far beyond what is usually possible! Also big shoutout to Gwenn for being very informative.

Contrado is a unique one of a kind place to shop but I really do wish they would expand the fabric combinations on their jacket range. For example they advertise their "Soft Velvet" as being great for jackets, yet I am only able to purchase the "Marbled Velvet" as a bomber jacket.

Also the jack that I can't mix and match linings or print my own satin lining or own quilted lining is very frustrating. The quality of the quilted lining is not very high and have received many complaints of it itching. The Satin lining however is quite nice.

It would also be amazing if they added options like reversibility, inner pockets, and zipper colour choice. not every colour fabric looks good with a silver and black zipper.

love the jackets overall and the fabrics but some small things could take contrado to the next level.
