HELP! Can the power of Mumsnet find this for me?

I have fallen in love with a wallpaper. I normally hate wallpaper - but this wallpaper has every single version of all my tuxedo cats on it and its perfect for a small feature wall in a nook. Its also £19 a roll. Bargain, as I only need two rolls.

Ordered it on line as showing available - refunded as not in stock. I did this with several online retailers from Next/BnQ/Range/World of Wallpaper and so on. Order would go through then a day or so later a refund would come through with an apology.

At this point I stopped ordering and started emailing the 'contact us' sections of retailers that showed stock . All the retailers came back and said despite it showing in stock online - its not in stock.

The Range, on their webpage, has the designers details (Riva) - so I contacted Riva directly and they confirmed they are no longer making this wallpaper and don't have any. However there is likely to be rolls still in physical shops. (I have been to all the physical retailers in my area, with no joy)

So can I ask any mumsnetters - if you see it out doing your new years sales shopping could you let me know? I am in SE England but would drive pretty much anywhere for two rolls (three if possible) Only the mustard one - I am really not a fan of the pink.

Thank you

My local one has it in pink but not mustard. Sorry. (It's cute!)

Perfectwallpaper · 29/12/2023 18:04

Thank you everyone! I really really appreciate you taking the time to look

Wall Passion is one I wrote to ask, they confirmed its not in stock with them.

I saw the gustavian one, let me check if I wrote to them.

No i didn't, probably as £180 for 3 rolls which was in the Range for £19 would have made me cry every time i looked t it on the wall.

but if needs must and no one can locate i will....... I will email to ask now

I was just going to go out on a limb and order - but is was £40 shipping on top!

So i have emailed them to check, but unless they have a physical store with rolls on the shelves it will be out of stock as Riva are no longer taking orders

Ah, i have just seen this on the gustavian FAQs

Local Options/Collections
We are unable to offer a local collection option for goods purchased. This is because many of our goods are sourced from our suppliers outside of our own location and consequently to expedite delivery we will ship directly to the customer.

If they don't have it on location, its likely they don't have it.

Sigh

You could email the owner of The Range, Chris Dawson.
[email protected]

I live in the place of origin of The Range. so if he's got any, I could pick it up for you? (My local Range is a 10 minute walk away)

Can you use Canvas or similar to make your own wallpaper- using a sample or web photo or similar?

Perfectwallpaper · 30/12/2023 13:23

Thank you! @MarchHareInTheRain @FuzzyPuffling @GarlicGiftsAndGlitter @GarlicGiftsAndGlitter

Gustavian sent a very lovely reply this morning confirming they don't have any - but they can print a replica if i find at least one roll. I am going to email back and say I can get the pink version, can they work with that and print it in mustard? Here is hoping.

I tried replicating via a wallpaper making site - but the image resolution was to low to configure from a screen shot.

Thank you for the address of the Range - I will drop them a line!

Could you order a sample from the furn website (it says it's available for immediate dispatch) then have it made up? Fingers crossed you find a solution.

happystrummer · 30/12/2023 13:29

ahh sorry out of stock there too

Perfectwallpaper · 30/12/2023 13:54

@happystrummer They have changed it to out of stock just recently after i emailed them and they advised they would alter the availability.

@D04J is the site letting you order a sample of the mustard? its showing as OOS for me. (fingers crossed its postcode related stock)

@D04J I lied! - I was looking at the paper not the samples! sorry!

I have ordered the sample - fingers crossed that they have a open roll that they use for samples

I trawled all local wall paper stores i looked up wall paper on facebook market place (no joy). I did message a few sellers that hold lots of odd end stock - so lets see if anything comes of it

@Defiantlynot41 thank you for the alternates - i will keep them in mind should Geo Cats just not happen.

This one made me laugh when a was looking through miles and miles of wall papers or murals at the weekend.

Its just so....cat. 😆

That CAT is brilliant. It has the same expression as one of ours when he is disapproving of us.

Now I've cleared up Christmas and the sitting room looks empty, perhaps CAT is what I need!
