Martha’s is an Auckland based fabric store and online shop specialising in upholstery and curtaining fabrics. We keep our full range on site, so there’s no waiting for offshore orders. Pop into our Newmarket showroom or buy fabric online NZ-wide, with free samples to help you choose confidently.

Yes, you can buy fabric online in NZ directly from Martha’s, with delivery available NZ wide. Because we keep our stock on site, orders are packed quickly and sent on tracked courier. If you’re local, you can also visit our showroom and see the full range in person.

You’ll find Martha’s at 10 Melrose Street, Newmarket, Auckland 1023. We’re open Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, and closed weekends and public holidays. If you want help choosing fabrics, visiting in person is the fastest way to feel textures and compare colour properly.

Yes, we offer a popular free sampling service so you can check colour and texture before committing. Samples are free for up to 15 in one order, and they’re processed promptly during business hours. If you need a bigger sample order, shipping fees can apply depending on the total.

For Urban NZ addresses, Free samples are sent via courier. These can take 1-3 days. Rural addresses are sent for free via standard mail (10-14 days untrackable), or can be sent via courier by selecting and paying for the rural courier charge. Samples requested before the afternoon cutoff on weekdays are typically processed the same business day.

Yes, we’re all about no wait times. Our fabrics are on site and ready to go, whether you’re shopping in-store or ordering online. That means you can start your project sooner, avoid long supplier lead times, and order with confidence knowing what you see is available now.

We do. Martha’s sells direct to the public (not trade-only), so anyone can shop our full range of furnishing fabrics. Whether you’re DIY-ing at home, working with an upholsterer, or planning a renovation, you can access the same beautiful fabrics and helpful advice.

Absolutely. If you’re unsure what to choose, our team can help you narrow down by use (curtaining vs upholstery, etc), feel, weight, and durability. Use our Fabric Finder filters online to shortlist favourites, then order free samples or pop into the showroom for hands-on comparing.

Yes, if you’d rather not DIY, we offer a custom made service for curtains and blinds. Choose your fabric, then get in touch for a quote and guidance through the process. Your order is made locally, and we help make the whole thing feel straightforward from fabric choice to final finish. Custom making is offered nationwide (and we've even sent curtains to Australia before!).

Yes, we can help with cushions as well, from fabric selection through to finished pieces made locally. Choose from our 1400+ fabrics, add trims if you want that extra detail, and request a quote. It’s a great option when you want a specific size, shape, or a perfectly matched set.

New Zealand orders are sent by tracked courier and generally arrive quickly once dispatched. Estimated delivery is around 1–2 working days for the North Island, about 3 working days for the South Island, and rural areas can take an extra day. Processing happens during standard business hours.

Screens vary, so online colour can’t be guaranteed. That’s exactly why we strongly recommend ordering a free sample first. It removes doubt and helps you choose confidently. If you skip sampling, returns for “not as expected” colour can be declined, so sampling is the smart first step.
