41 FABRIC STORES: Modern Apparel Fabric Stores + Textile Companies (Retail + Wholesale)
I have created a list of retail + wholesale fabric stores that sell fashion fabrics. Many of the retail fabric stores sell wholesale. I have included fabric stores and textiles companies that have modern, ergonomic fabrics. Visit my FREE RESOURCES page to download the PDF document.
Their fabrics are:
Sustainable
Plant-based
Ethical/ Fair Trade
Certified
I have researched each company. They all care about selling modern apparel fabrics. They carry a lot of plant-based apparel fabrics and sustainable apparel fabrics.
I have included a brief info about who they are. The intros are in quotations because they are the introductions of their products from their websites. I wanted to include the intro of their fabric company to give you an idea of who they are and what they sell.
I have included the location of the company. I have included whether they ship worldwide. If I didn’t include their shipping information it is because they did not state it on their website. They most-likely ship worldwide– most all of the fabric stores and textile companies listed do with the exception of a few.
