How it started with fabric
Ten years ago, Heather LaRoy was making upholstered headboards in her spare time — feeling the weight of fabric in her hands and learning how a single pattern could transform a room. Three years later she was designing homes — floorplans, lighting, millwork, tile, and of course fabric and wallpaper. But the patterns she wanted — the ones with character, with the mark of an artist's hand — didn't exist in the places she shopped for her clients. So she found them. She connected with independent designers in Europe and began bringing their work home. Heather believes everyone — homeowners, designers, builders — deserves access to the same thoughtful, curated collections of quality fabric and wallpaper she'd spent years discovering. Not a warehouse of options. A carefully chosen library of work from independent artists who understand that the patterns you live with every day matter. James Crossing is built on this belief.

What we offer is simple: European artists working in wallpaper and fabric, selected for their craft and their vision. Customization when you need it, consultation when you're uncertain, and shipping across Canada and the US.
