Evans: A Legacy Of Innovation & Care

Wednesday, 17 June 2026

Founded in the late 19th century in the heart of Manchester, Evans is a story of grit, creativity and independence. From humble beginnings as a market textile merchant, we have grown into one of the UK's leading suppliers to the interiors industry, specialising in window coverings, blinds, curtain tracks, curtain linings, and workroom accessories.


A Manchester Heritage 

"This is Manchester. We do things differently here". This phrase isn't just a saying, it's the ethos that has guided Evans since 1897. Born amid the city's booming textile trade, Evans has always embraced innovation, adapting to the evolving needs of customers while maintaining the quality and care that define British craftsmanship.  


Innovation Through Adversity 

Evans' commitment to supporting communities through our products has been a constant throughout our history. During WWII, we supplied Bolton Twill Blackout fabrics to protect families during the Blitz. More recently, we donated thousands of metres of fabric for NHS scrubs during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating our ongoing dedication to social responsibility. 


Customer-Focused Design 

At Evans, putting customers first is at the heart of everything we do. Our curated product range is designed to support stunning window dressing solutions, whether it's bespoke made-to-measure blinds, elegant curtain tracks or high-quality upholstery fabrics. Each product reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, creativity and individuality, helping customers transform spaces into beautiful and functional interiors. 


Honouring Our Heritage & Building The Future 

Even as we grow, we remain grounded in our Manchester roots. From sponsoring a beehive in tribute to the iconic Manchester Bee, symbolising resilience and community, to continuously innovating our product range, Evans balances heritage with forward-thinking design. 

We are not just suppliers - we are partners in creating interiors that matter. By weaving history, care and innovation into every product, Evans ensures that every project benefits from over a century of expertise and Mancunian spirit
