The Fabric Store

A curated range of designer ends, mill overruns & exclusive fabrics for the creative community. New Zealand · Australia · Online The Fabric Store is a destination point for the sewing and creative community, offering a curated range of designer dress fabrics and mill overruns coupled with an exceptional in-store experience and dedicated, passionate service. Each of our stores offer an extensive range of fabrics, with a strong focus on natural fibres, including silk crepe de chines, chiffons, satins and georgettes, as well as a variety of merino jerseys, woollen suitings and coatings, cottons, linens and rayons plus specialty pieces like jacquards, brocades, laces and leather hides. We also stock a large range of Liberty of London Art Fabrics including Tana Lawn, Lantana, Rossmore Cord, Clifton Jersey and Bloomsbury Silk Crinkle Chiffon. The majority of the fabrics we source are deadstock, which means that they are end-of-line, mill overruns, cancelled orders or designer excess fabrics. These are fabrics that are deemed a waste product in the fashion industry and would often otherwise end up as landfill. Over the years we have formed relationships with some of the best designer suppliers, both internationally and locally, in order to bring you an amazing and unique range of stock without the waste and ethical implications of mass manufacture. The Fabric Store was first established in 1995 in New Zealand as Global Fabrics with flagship stores in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Our first Australian store opened in Surry Hills, Sydney in 2008 followed by stores in Fitzroy, Melbourne and Fortitude Valley, Brisbane in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Our International Online Store was established in 2016.
