Online Fabric Stores

February 2nd, 2007

We often find ourselves whiling away an afternoon at the online fabric bazaar—checking out the latest from Lulu DK or fantasizing about redoing the world in Les Indiennes fabrics. Here are some favorite online fabric sources:

Sites that let you buy with a point and click:

Cupacocohome.com Small online retailer that carries Les Indiennes and Basics linen (also look for Cote Table ceramics):

hableconstruction.com:

www.sophie2.fatcow.com You can buy these vibrantly colored, heavy cotton striped Basque stripes by the yard from the Sophie de Pons online boutique (confidential to Sophie: you might want to think about changing your web address):

thelinenhouse.com part of Libeco Homes Stores of Belgium. Online shopping of casual, relaxed Belgian linens in beachy stripes and sophisticated neutrals:

cathkidston.com Retro-inspired prints that have taken the UK by storm; now on American soils in NYC and LA. Great way to spice up kitchen, bath, and kids rooms:

and Sketchbook lines. Online orders for cushions, curtains and accesories:

Sites that are just for the looking-inspiration and ideas (look for stockists/sources posted on site):
