My pupils often ask me where to buy fabrics they cannot find in shops. In my city, Valencia, offer is increasing but stores take a long time to receive the latest collections and fabrics, whereas on Instagram and Pinterest they are already popular.
I usually buy fabrics in the same online shops because I feel comfortable and safe, I am happy with them and I am very faithful; this seems to me the fairest. But I also try other sellers when I look for something concrete or discover fabrics I want to test or I like very much. My reference shops are Fabricworm, Birch Fabrics, Cloud9, Art Gallery Fabrics, Free Spirit y Jan et Jul.
En todas ellas encuentro gran variedad de telas, las colecciones de los diseñadores que más me gustan y mucho orden, lo que me facilita buscar lo que quiero y descubrir novedades.
In all of them I find great variety of fabrics, the collections of my favourite designers and very much order, what makes me easy to find what I am looking for and to discover new products.
Me gustan mucho las telas lisas y es difícil encontrarlas en tiendas físicas, de algodón de calidad y en una amplia gama de colores. Y si las quieres precortadas resulta imposible.
I like very much smooth fabrics and it is difficult to find them in physical shops, made of quality cotton and in a wide range of colours. And if you want them pre-cut, it is impossible.
Tejidos orgánicos, de punto (la famosa “sudadera”), felpas, popelines,… hay todo tipo de telas en mil estampados.
Organic fabrics, knitted, plushes, poplins… there are all kind of fabrics in thousand prints.
Además podemos adquirir las colecciones de multitud de diseñadores. A mi me gustan los estilos más modernos, pero también soy fan de las flores de Liberty London y veterana seguidora de “pesos pesados” como Robert Kaufman (sus sólidos son imprescindibles para mi).
Besides, we can purchase the collections of lots of designers. I like the most modern styles, but I am also fan of the flowers of Liberty London and a long-time follower of heavyweights as Robert Kaufman (his solid colours are essential for me).
Two notes: unfortunately, Free Spirit closes on May 1. And Jan et Jul is a Spanish physical and online shop that, for a long time, sells modern style and great quality fabrics.
Pues estas son mis tiendas preferidas. ¿Dónde compráis vosotros?
So these are my favourite shops. Where do you buy?
