The Fabric District of New York covers several blocks between 27th
Street and 39
th Street and 6
th Avenue and 8
th
Avenue (there are some places beyond these parameters). Many stores are
wholesale only, but they are clearly marked. The shop fronts clearly show the
type of fabric and notions they sell. Not all stores have fronts on the street,
many are located inside of the buildings, involve elevator rides and walks
along blank corridors! It all adds to the mystery of the place!
Paron Fabrics
On the recent SAGA Meet-Up in NYC, I visited Paron Fabrics on 39
th
Street and took advantage of a Groupon coupon! I also walked around M & J
Trimmings on 6
th Avenue. I passed Spechler-Vogel- a name we all know
as they supply many of the fine batistes to our business members.
If you have the chance to visit the area it is a fun place to wander around,
but if you plan on buying my suggestion is to have some idea what it is you
want to buy because there is just so much choice and it is easy to get
distracted and confused!
What fun you all had. And what a great idea to meet up there. When you are in the area next time….eat at Ben's Deli. It was recommended to me by one of the fabric shops and I never miss a chance to eat there if I am in NYC.
