Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Does anyone know what this is called in English please? Wikitionnaire gives the following definition:
robrack masculin
Dispositif de présentation des échantillons d'étoffe, fixés sur un support indiquant leurs caractéristiques commerciales.
Les supports cartonnés des rebrocs, robracks, rebraques ou rebracks portent la marque et les caractéristiques techniques utiles à la commercialisation et à l'archivage des étoffes. — (Odile Blanc, Florence Charpigny, Tissu-Papier, échanges d'impressions : question de points de vue, ENS Éditions, 2005, page 60)
Thanks in advance!

sample hanger
If it is a hanger, and your definition does not state that it is, it could be a sample hanger, as here:
The hanger presents a ‘waterfall’ of fabrics alongside a large ‘feeler’ piece of fabric which are combined in a ‘cap’ to make a hanging sample. Each item (SKU) is represented by a loop of fabric on the waterfall to allow the customer to see the colours and designs of fabrics available. The feeler allows the customer to touch the fabric and get a physical understanding of how the fabric drapes and behaves in a large piece.

Bru is a Belgian firm. I've had no luck searching for anything from them in French.

The same site (its glossary) also gives illustrations and descriptions of sample binders, sample books, and sample memos, and its 'sister' site Sample King also mentions sample cards.

Comment: "In fairness, I think either or these would probably have worked and in my context (I didn't have much time), I 'fudged' it and went for a much more general and looser translation."

fabric swatch display
Sort of thing you find in John Lewis, etc.
This sort of thing quite often lends itself to a bit of pictorial googling: find photos of the French thing and then try to find an English term with equivalent photos.
It's also consistent with the definition.

Mais de l'autre côté "portants" become "racks" et "robracks" to "taps"(dans la même FBpage)

They translate them as "clamps and hangers", but could just be a bad translation! Hope it helps...

Shop displays are tricky because every retailer has its own terminology, so you may have to make something up.
And my translation of it so far:
