Founded by Ben Gilmore in 1940, Covington Fabric & Design converts decorative textiles for upholstery, bedding and drapery in residential and hospitality settings. The family business tradition continues through a New York-based design studio, permanent showrooms in New York and High Point, and worldwide shipping from an 80,000-square-foot South Carolina distribution center. Covington sells exclusively to the trade and can also help customers with finished bedding and window products.
