I came here for upholstery fabrics and was pleased with the extensive range available to order — we got a velvet from a Spanish supplier, price and durability pretty decent, and a great range of colours. They’re usually available in around a week. They do have some stunning fabrics here if you’re prepared to rummage, and the range is more extensive though less easy to access than its nearby competitor The Cloth Shop. They were happy for us to take the fabric book home and all in all pleasant and straightforward to deal with. More interesting than Hickey’s and dearer too, this is a long-established and busy shop that has stood the test of time.

I reckon I may have a very strong granny streak in me, because I kind of love these kinds of stores. Rolls and rolls of fabric for upholstery mainly make up the interior of this interior decorator’s dream. The place is nicely higgeldy-piggeldy, which suits my taste for a good rummage down to the ground. Glancing at a fleur-de-lis in cream and gold nestled beside the most vile vomit-coloured curtain material imaginable is my idea of great procrastination(only renting stunts my inner designer considerably, but a girl can dream!). However, this place falls down on trimmings. I’m a trimmings/accessories person. Very poor ribbon section and not great on other bits and bobs. But cool fabrics.
