by two.sewing.sisters, posted in Fabric Stores, Travel

The Hague is a beautiful city to visit with many wonderful museums including the Design Museum, the classics at The Mauritshuis, and the Kunst Museum which regularly has fashion exhibitions.  While it might not be a fashion capital for textiles and clothing it does have one gem of a fabrics store, Tessuti Stoffen & Zo that is worth visiting. 

Tessuti Stoffen & Zo

The store is located in the centre of the shopping district of the city. The store is split over three levels with the ground level separated into fabric types with goodies including linen elastane blends, printed cotton canvas and many others. The small basement has fleeces and a small selection of discount fabrics then upstairs the mezzanine includes a wall of buttons, special occasion fabric and heavy upholstery fabrics.

The fabric is sold in cut lengths with the cutting table at the centre of the space.  There is everything you need for a project including Fibre Mood Patterns, zippers, threads and fastenings. 

You can shop online at https://www.tessuti.nl but nothing beats and in-store experience.

Fabric Stores in Paris France

Ah Paris! A fashion capital and a wealth of wonderful fabric stores!

In many of the stores in Montmartre near Sacré-Cœur the fabrics are already cut into length of 3m meters and folded on tables. They are sorted into fibre types with silks, cottons and wools grouped together. Each piece of fabric has a tag attached that lists the fibre composition, the width, meterage and the price.

Here are just a few we have frequented to help you explore and see the full map below

Coupons Saint Pierre (Les Coupons de Saint Pierre)

This fabric store has all precut lengths of 3 meters with an amazing selection of silks. This is the kind of store to let the fabric all to you, explore the piles, pick the pieces you like, and circle back around because the fabrics on top will have changed thanks to the other fabric lovers exploring as well!

While they do have a website https://les-coupons-de-saint-pierre.fr/en nothing can beat the in-person experience.

Find it Coupons Saint Pierre at 1 Pl. Saint-Pierre, 75018 Paris https://maps.app.goo.gl/FENQUnrWzsnbvhfE9

Marché Saint-Pierre

Oh wow, there are 5 levels of fabric at Marché Saint-Pierre! The store which was established in 1920 has a wide range of materials, some precut lengths and the rest available by the meter.

Ultramod Mercerie Paris

Closer to the centre of the city Ultramod is a place for haberdashery, trim, buttons and millinery supplies. It is not possible to shop online at this treasure trove so in-person is a must!
