Fabric House

Found me some Louie monogram pattern leather here for dumb cheap. Nigga in the front was nothing but helpful, I fucks with Fabric Haus.

Great place for costuming and finishing materials for puppets. Wholesale and retail. I’m new to shopping in the garment district, but this this definitely a place to negotiate price per yard. You’ll get extremely different numbers from each of the sales people, so it’s important to understand the average cost of what you are looking for.
Example: the grumpy old guy started at $ 60 per yard for a particularly elaborate textile and another sales associate started at $ 30per yard for the SAME textile. If you’re not sure if it’s a fair price, walk away.

I went in for a very specific type of fabric (similar to an Indian throw) to hang on my wall. After describing what I was doing with the material they brought out several bolts of exactly what I was looking for! I almost bought something similar at a street fair but it was about $ 200, I got a yard of this here for $ 35. They were super helpful!

The guy that works at the front — i think he’s the owner or the son of the owner — was unfriendly, didn’t break a smile, and looked at me like I was crazy when I told him I was looking for hand-​woven fabrics. I was ready to spend more than $ 1k in fabric since I am getting ready to open a store and have a wholesale line of clothes. I did spenf more than $ 1K a few hours later, a few doors down at Paron Fabrics.
The guy at the front door wouldn’t smile, didn’t seem eager to help. Fabric House does have a great selection, but the fabric business is competitive. A smile and interest in your customer go a long way, m and I don’t want to spend money with someone who doesn’t value my business. He seemed much more interested helping other customers who were buying small quantities. Also, when I went in the day after to tell him I spent $ 1600 across the street because he was rude and unhelpful, he said that he didn’t care about my business. I’m surprised they’ve been on 39^th street for as long as they have. Don’t give mean people your business, when the landlords raise his rent, I won’t be sad to see him gone.

Stopped by this store looking for brocade based on the previous review. Small store with small selection of everything. Brocades here are $ 15 per yard straight across the board. Not a large selection as next door at Ayazmoon. The 3 guys working here were assisting other people and were helpful, not pushy.

This spot carries costume and designer fabrics (wholesale and retail.) It’s the kind of place where you select everything you want in your head before asking for it to be cut — then talk the down a little by adding more items to the pile BEFORE cutting.
Non-​silk Chinese brocades average $ 7/​yd while Silk Chinese brocades average $ 12/​yd. They also carry linens and heavily beaded laces and chiffons. It’s the kind of place you’ll need time to hunt for the best things. Mail order is welcomed by them.
