When Fabricland, the largest fabric store in Canada, decided to expand to Quebec, it marked the birth of Fabricville in 1970. With 23 stores throughout Quebec and Eastern Canada, it has become the No.1 source for fabrics and draperies during the past 45 years.
Fabricville is focused on remaining the leader in the fabric industry, offering the best selection at the best price. By combining its buying power with Fabricland and buying directly from the source, Fabricville ensures that its customers get the best value for their dollar. This unique national buying power allows the fabric stores to offer consumers competitive prices.
Given its long-lasting relationships with international mills, Fabricville can make the largest selection of fabric collections affordable for many customers. In addition to its own exclusive fabric collections, the company also carries brands such as Jaclyn Smith, Waverly, Michael Miller, Henry Glass, and a variety of licensed products from Disney and Marvel.
Fabricville has not stopped evolving. In addition to developing new products and services, the company launched a completely new and redesigned e-commerce website in 2014. It came in response to a growing consumer need from rural areas of Quebec and Eastern Canada, where Fabricville’s brick-and-mortar stores can sometimes be an hour or more away from customers. With this in mind, the online fabric store was launched to service not only these customers but also clientele across the country.
Fabricville stocks a huge inventory of fashion fabrics as well as an extensive selection of blinds, curtains, drapery and upholstery fabrics. The online store focuses on offering customers the best selection of fabrics for fashion, home decor, crafts and quilting, as well as supplying sewing notions, patterns, drapery hardware, accents and accessories.
Currently stocking more than 17,000 items online and growing the selection every day, Fabricville is proud to offer Canadians their first Canadian-operated online fabric store. Canadians no longer have to incur duties, exchange rates, service fees that come with buying from the U.S. The company is also proud to be the first bilingual fabric store online in North America. Excited about the fast growing success of this online business, Fabricville looks forward to expanding it worldwide.
It is common knowledge that Fabricville is the place for all your sewing needs, but in the past decade its stores have expanded to also become a destination for full-service window coverings. They carry everything customers need to dress their windows: drapery fabrics, custom and ready-to-hang blinds, ready-to-hang curtains and hardware.
The custom window-covering service has opened the door to a new market, since Fabricville offers both in-store and in-home consultation services. Its staff is very knowledgeable and can offer consumers design ideas within any set budget plus great brand names such as Altex and Shade-O-Matic custom blinds at the lowest pricing on the market.
Value is not the only factor that makes Fabricville the leader in the fabric industry. Staying current is just as important. That is why a team of buyers travels the world in search of the latest trends to bring the most up-to date merchandise to customers. Fabricville offers a huge selection of fabrics to fit every taste and budget. Choices are endless, whether a customer is opting to make a garment, a quilt, a craft, a knitting project or window treatment. Fabricville is a fabric store that offers consumers the materials and the inspiration they need to create something unique and beautiful.
It is this vast choice, combined with the value, that sets Fabricville apart from other fabric stores. That, and the vision to inspire customers’ creativity and to offer them the resources they need to reach their goal.
