Hi and welcome…a quick word about this blog…
I'm a mad fabric collector but I've gone a bit overboard, so I've started this blog to re-home some gorgeous, top-quality fabrics at really great prices. Mostly ex-designer fabrics from places like New York's garment district and Milan's fabric mills, and mostly single pieces. Please see the 'About' and 'FAQ' at the top of this page for more info.

Anne K1ein tropical jungle silk/lycra SOLD
THIS FABRIC IS GONE NOW, THANKS
You know some fabrics come along and you just want to pet them all the time? This wonderful Anne K1ein silk is one of them.
Whether it’s the lustrous surface, the slightest suggestion of crinkle texture or the spring of a bit of lycra, this silk demands to be stroked. (more…)
Caribbean beaches cotton voile SOLD
GONE NOW THANKS
Here’s a top-length piece of cotton voile from the racks of my favourite fabric shop in NYC. Everything that ends up in the shelves of this store comes from the studios and workrooms of designers, most of them NY based.
With the bright, sunny, summery thing going on with this fabric, it seems perfectly suited to summer on the beach or by the pool in Australia…or the Caribbean…
Marbled animal print montage silk/viscose SOLD
NOW GONE, THANKS
Do you ever wonder how designers come up with a certain print? I do, this one more than many others. It is a little bit of a crazy print when you dive in the detail…
…this marbled montage of cheetah and leopard prints and dissected views of agate and andalusite all swirled around each other like coffee trails in cappuccino froth. Who thinks of that sort of combination? (more…)
Naeem Khan emerald greens silk/lycra charmeuse SOLD
SOLD – MANY THANKS
This silk went like wildfire and by the time my name in the queue was reached there was just a remnant left.
But oh what a glorious remnant it is!
Dramatic designer silk-cotton black & white panel print SOLD
SOLD NOW, MANY THANKS
You won’t seen fabrics like this one come along all that often. This is a sensational panel print from NY design C S+effe.
The fabric face is a lustrous soft silk, almost like the feel of a duchess satin, and the reverse side is a cotton backing. (more…)
Anna Sui scrabble silk crepe de chine SOLD
GONE NOW THANKS
It’s a classic with a twist, a lovely chequerboard print in classic black and white, populated with simple but witty graphics, and just enough colour to keep it from being too conservative.
Delicate dreamy tie-dye silk charmeuse SOLD
THIS FABRIC IS SOLD NOW, THANK YOU
Oh this is lovely! I really think that they…whoever is responsible for this print design…have done such a good job.
The print of this lighter weight silk charmeuse simulates a tie-dye effect, repeating the dreamy colours of soft gold, silver, ecru and platinum tones, shot here and there with an accent of graphite. (more…)
NY designer snake print cotton/silk/lycra SOLD
THIS FABRIC IS NOW SOLD – MANY THANKS
Animal print fabrics are always in fashion, but they are just huge at the moment, with no sign of waning in popularity. This fabric is a fantastic piece. It is an ex-designer fabric and superb quality with a cotton/silk/lycra blend.
This print is a super-stylish snakeskin print.
Multi-coloured ‘techno’ graphic silk charmeuse SOLD
NOW GONE – MANY THANKS
Another beautiful quality silk from a New York designer in lovely rich and saturated colours.
I think this fabric also recalls the work of another top designer, at least I had this in mind when I got the fabric.
Teal blue thunderstorm cotton/lycra SOLD
THIS FABRIC IS NOW SOLD – MANY THANKS
I love this cotton/lycra but I’ve got a long list of other fabrics lined up ahead of it so I’m being strict. The dark teals and blues work magnificently together in this print, tinged with cinnamon and dusk.
There’s something about Mary… GONE THANKS
PENDING NOW THANKS
In a summery designer dress like this…
This is a lovely Hug0 B0ss number from a few years ago, snaffled in a great hurry when it appeared and disappeared in no time from an Australian fabric store.
He!mut L@ng graphic digital knit GONE
PENDING, THANKS
Look no further than this gorgeous piece of viscose stretch fabric by the designer known for his fashion-forward and sharp designs.
Broken arrow striped cotton/lycra SOLD
GONE NOW, THANKS
This is a top quality and very versatile medium-weight cotton in a small scale tribal graphic.
The cotton also has a touch of lycra (less that 5%) which will give that extra bit of wearing ease to whatever might be made. (more…)
Stunning silk charmeuse with red, white and blue flowers on navy SOLD
GONE, THANK YOU
Oh my gosh, the quality of this silk is sensational.
And so is the print design, the graphics…it’s just captivating! (more…)
Divine mustard crinkle wool/silk – Oscar DLR SOLD
GONE NOW THANK YOU
I haven’t posted plain colour fabrics before on this site. Prints are so easy to make interesting to the eye on a website; plain fabrics can go completely unnoticed. But if you are a fabric connoisseur, please do take a moment to have a look at this divine Osc@r de la Rent@ fabric.
Actually, that is a Chl0e dress there on the left from the pre-Fall collection that came out just weeks ago, not Osc@r, but shows just how gorgeous this colour can look, and it is definitely a colour of the season. (more…)
