Numerous businesses market Aboriginal designed creations. Warrina Designs is distinguished by its exceptionally well curated selections and outstanding customer service. Products they offer under each category–art, fabric, carpets, scarves, ties, table runners, hats–feature the best of the best, which makes shopping easy at affordable price points. I needed gifts for an engaged couple in time for their wedding, and found the perfect set. I also expressed my sincere hopes and best wishes for the bride and groom. The thoughtful people at Warrina Designs transformed my comments into a beautiful card. They then upgraded the shipping I chose from standard delivery to express to insure that the present arrived on time–free of charge! The unexpected attention their staff paid to details such as these, place them in the top tier of businesses, since they think of ways to enhance the quality of the customer’s experience. Beautiful selections, thoughtful staff, exceptional service: a rare combination in today’s business world. Thank you!

I have purchased a 10×10 inch fabric pack (40 pieces), two 5×5 inch packs (85 pieces in total) and three fabric packs. The designs are beautiful – bright and striking. The fabric itself is of fantastic quality, and feels amazing. I will definitely be coming back if I am working on any other designs requiring aboriginal prints.

I purchased a yard of 100% cotton fabric called streets of fire. It’s perfect for my next project. Nice weight to fabric and it was packaged very nicely.
Rebecca Duncum –
Love Stonehenge. This helps finish up a quilt I am making for my grandson. And this Etsy shop shipped it very quickly. Very pleased.
Susan S. –
Communication regarding yardage availability was super fast, clear any beyond any expectations. Shipped packages arrived well wrapped and with very prompt delivery
Wendy E Hough –
Placed order and was told after it was shipping that this item wasn’t available and I’d have been refunded. I ordered from this shop to bundle all of them and save on shipping. Had I known only 1 of the items was available I’d have canceled the order but was never given an option since it had already been given a shipping label. I also wasn’t told which of the three items I would actually be getting so I could shop elsewhere.
Barbara Beck –
Quality was perfect and just the pattern I needed to finish a quilt with other Aboriginal prints I purchased in Australia. The quilt will go back with me when I visit in June.
Rhonda Martin –
This fabric is good quality. It matched the description and met my expectations. The vendor sent the fabric timely.
Anne and Bob Paconik –
Love all this vendor fabric. Striking selection of fabric colors, and hard to find high end fabric brands. Quickly shipped
