I'm looking for a fabric district in the NYC area that is much like the LOS ANGELES garment district (i.e. a large area with separate streets dedicated to the sale of a single item- fabric, flowers, men's shoes, notions, women's clothing, etc.) The prices should be significantly less (wholesale) than what you'd pay at a commercial fabric store such as Joann's. Please, no links to NYC visitor shopping guides, I'm not looking to buy some shoes at Macy's. I would like a person who has experience with both areas to answer.this question with some detail. I am looking for info primarily about FABRIC and NOTIONS. Thanks!
Where's the garment/fabric district in NYC? PLEASE READ THE DETAILS BEFORE ANSWERING!?
There are consecutive notions stores located on 6th Avenue between 34th and 39th Street - mostly on the on the East side of the street. Lots of buttons and trims and things.
The fabric stores are on 7th Ave in the same areas - 34th to 39th.
None of these are wholesale places. However they are not signifcantly less than a Joann's (which we don't even have in Manhattan).
If the stores sell at wholesale prices - they only sell to the trade - NOT the public.
Reply:rows of shops- wholesale only
7th ave -10th ave between 32nd to 38th street.
Look at the yellow pages http://www.yellowpages.com/
better yet, ask someone who goes to FIT :-P
Reply:Garment district: on 7th ave(Fashion Ave) approximately between 28 %26amp; 38 streets. You will find everything you need. Fabrics and notions.
Reply:In the heart of times square you have Fashion Ave(7th) between 41st and 39th st there are sevral buildings where designers have their shops. For materials you would head a little further south to SoHo and Chelsea, there are alot of factories that deal with fabrics there
