About Marivelle Home
Where are your sofas made?
All Marivelle sofas are fully handmade in our factory located in Shun De District, Foshan, Guangzhou, China. This region is one of the world’s largest and most established furniture manufacturing hubs.
Our craftsmen specialise in producing modular sofas designed for comfort, durability and modern living.

Please reach out to us and book your visit at least one day in advance.
Why choose Marivelle Home?
We specialise in factory-direct luxury sofas.
Our customers choose us because we offer handmade craftsmanship, premium upholstery materials, customisable sizing, modular sofa designs, and worldwide shipping.
Customisation
Can I customise the sofa?
Yes. Customisation is free of charge.
You may customise the sofa length (from armrest to armrest), the upholstery material and the colour.
Other structural elements such as the design, mechanism and internal structure remain fixed to ensure safety and durability.
Will the colour look exactly like the photos?
Colours may appear slightly different depending on lighting conditions, camera angles, screen displays and photography settings.
For the most accurate colour reference, we recommend ordering a physical upholstery swatch kit.
Can I order fabric samples?
Yes. We offer upholstery swatch kits so you can see and feel the materials before purchasing.
Order here: https://marivellehome.com/products/swatch-kit-1
The swatch kit costs $100 for each upholstery and takes around 7 to 14 days to arrive. Shipping by air, tracking link will be provided. Taxes and duties not covered.
The total amount paid for swatch kit will be fully refunded when you purchase a sofa.
Upholstery Options
What upholstery materials do you offer?
We currently offer four upholstery options:
- chenille fabric
- microfibre fabric
- bouclé fabric
- eco genuine leather
Each material suits different lifestyles and maintenance preferences.
What is chenille fabric?
Chenille is a soft textured fabric known for its luxurious and elegant appearance. It adds a rich look to living spaces and works well in design-focused interiors.
Chenille is not scratch resistant, so it may not be ideal for homes with pets.
The textured surface may require regular cleaning as it can trap dust.
What is microfibre fabric?
Microfibre is a tightly woven synthetic fabric designed for durability and practicality.
It is pet friendly, scratch resistant and suitable for homes with pets or children.
Microfibre is mildly water resistant. Liquids usually begin absorbing only after sitting on the surface for more than five seconds, allowing time to wipe spills.
It is also one of the easiest fabrics to maintain.
What is bouclé fabric?
Bouclé is a looped textured fabric commonly used in designer furniture.
It creates a modern and aesthetic look but requires more careful maintenance as dust may get trapped within the loops.
Bouclé is not recommended for homes with pets because claws may catch on the loops.
What is eco genuine leather?
Eco genuine leather is a blend of genuine leather and synthetic materials designed to improve durability and maintenance.
It is scratch resistant, easy to clean and suitable for homes with pets.
It offers the luxurious look of leather while being easier to maintain for daily use.

Are the sofas modular?
