I have been shopping at Modern Fabrics for years, and recommend it to everyone I know. I love that they are saving rad high quality fabric from the landfills and also making it accessible to lovers of great design within a more reasonable budget. I have reupholstered many pieces with fabric from here and don’t plan to stop anytime soon. Ewa has been so accommodating and shipments arrive on time and packaged very well. Everything I’ve ever ordered from Modern Fabrics has been super high quality and I always get compliments on it. Support this awesome business and get some yummy fabric while you’re at it. It’s a win-win.

We are a business that reupholsters Mid-century design furniture and have sourced hundreds of yardage from Modern Fabrics over the years. Ewa has an exceptional eye for wonderful fabrics that work especially great on vintage design. The quality of fabrics we have purchased are second to none. On top of having a great selection with amazing prices, Ewa is a treasure to work with. She goes above and beyond sending us samples to us here in California that she thinks would work for us and has a good eye! We love working with Modern Fabrics and believe this place deserves recognition! Thank you, Modern Fabrics, for helping us breathe life back into our chairs and sofas and keeping the planet free from needless waste!!

Dont waste your time going to any other fabric store. This is the place. They have excellent prices and huge selection. Debra was incredibly helpful. I dont know much about fabrics and upholstery and she taught me so much in the short conversation we had. I highly recommend Modern Fabrics and will be using them for all of my fabric needs from here on out.

Both myself and my family have visited (and bought) so many wonderful items from Ewa & her crew over the past two years. The hallmarks of a wonderful business—staff attentiveness/helpfulness and item quality/selection are abundant and the quality of fabrics are quite literally on par (or higher) than firms such as Restoration Hardware, Williams-Sonoma, & Design Within Reach.Keep in mind, the majority of brands available for purchase are typically strictly limited to the design trade, and are impossible to find elsewhere. Additionally, the access to such yardage & the correlated pricing is also impossible to find. Consider it a gift that one has access to such quality items and service—I’ve never encountered better.

Ordered my first assortment of Mystery Fabric, what fun! I got a very nice variety of high quality fabric which I can use for small and medium projects. Listed some preferences in colors and patterns on order form and the owner did a great job matching those requests. I love my chair and stool w ith their new look.

I had a wonderful time shopping at Modern Fabrics. I was greeted by the owner when I walked in. She provided a quick tour of the store and let me loose. I found so many modern fabrics to make pillows with.The owner is very knowledgable about the fabrics in the shop. Each bolt of fabric has a tag with information about abrasion #, manufacture, and content of the fabric.The shop is very bright with a lot of natural light.Looking for a great deal? Check out the flat folds throughout the shop! You can’t beat the price / discount.

I wanted to share a big, heartfelt thank you to Modern Fabrics! Especially to Miss Debra, who guided me through the fabric selection for a pair of chairs I’d inherited from my Grandmother. There were so many beautiful fabrics to choose from and I couldn’t have been happier with my selection. Debra also referred me to an upholsterer she trusted and the chairs turned out absolutely gorgeous! (See before and after photos below) From beginning to end a flawless experience… and I’m so grateful that my Grandmother’s chairs can be enjoyed for many more years to come. Sincerely, Gina

I found this gem of a fabric store by pure chance. The quality of the material was exceptional and the woman who helped me was fantastic. I only wish I had her name to properly thank her. She spent time helping me select the appropriate fabrics for my project as well as correct quantity.She even spent time encouraging my daughter on her latest seeing project. Its those little acts of encouragement and kindness that left me smiling and looking forward to my next visit. I cant wait to go back for more fabric when another project comes around.

We werent the typical customer, but Modern Fabrics saved our Halloween by giving my 6-year-old the coolest piece of green fabric when he lost his cape and refused to accept payment! Such a thoughtful heartfelt gesture. We got a real-life hero in addition to our costumed crusaders.The fabric selection was amazing, and organized by texture and type. What a wonderful store! I cant wait to upholster something.

I have ordered lots of different fabrics over the years from Modern Fabrics amazing collection and I am always extremely happy about the service, how easy it is to communicate with Ewa and how quickly samples and fabric arrive. I love to browse through Modern Fabrics web site since Ewa’s collection is always changing and so diverse and fabrics inspire projects! For a recent project I needed a variety of small fabric scraps in different textures and tones. Ewa was extremely generous to help me out and sent a collection of small treasures! I am moved by her care and enthusiasm! Thank you so much, Ewa!!

I usually don’t look forward to making phone calls having to do with placing orders. Modern Fabrics is the exception. Some of the best customer service I’ve ever received...not just when dealing with fabrics, but in general. Ewa is a pleasure to work with and offers a wealth of knowledge.I will use Modern Fabrics any time I can when picking fabrics for high end chairs and other projects. Great pricing, great products, and great info on their website (down to how scratchy a fabric may or may not be!)Then, add in the fact that you are helping reduce waste by purchasing designer fabrics that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill... I don’t know why you’d ever want to shop anywhere else!

We bought an antique dining room set but the chairs had to be reupholstered. We looked for unique midcentury fabrics in our area but didn’t find anything we liked, and then we came up on the Modern Fabrics website. Our order arrived within the week, and it looks even better than the pictures! We’ll definitely order again for any future upholstery projects.

I have been shopping at Modern Fabrics for a few years. Ive purchased material for upholstery and home decor as well as leather for art projects. The staff is always friendly, professional, and ready to help shoppers. They have so many great material options and tons of Mid Century prints that you will not find anywhere else. I frequently hear other shoppers say things like oh my gosh, theres more back here as the store winds around from room to room where materials are organized by type. This small business is a gem and we are lucky to have Modern Fabrics in Charlotte.

The staff and leather products are amazing! This is my go-to shop for my leather needs because I know she will always have something that I will want whether its what I need or its just too unique to pass up. AND, they have so many other fabrics that are so pretty and very unique. You could spend all day here and wont leave empty handed. Love this place and the staff who are so friendly and very very helpful!

Modern Fabrics is AMAZING! Full disclosure, I had zero idea about what I was doing re: an reupholstering project for some favorite pieces. Ewa and Nancy were informative, patient, professional, and downright FUN to work with! After making multiple trips before finally making a decision, I feel like I can really make a call here. And for real-- read the fabric descriptions on the website. If you like that, youll love this place!

I am absolutely in LOVE with Modern Fabrics!! I needed quality fabric to make colorful kitchen aprons for nurses and first responders so they would have a little extra cheer while cooking for their families. Im so happy I found Ewa!! She is a delightful woman and so incredibly helpful and generous! I admire the mission she has to minimize waste and rescue fabrics from the cutting room floor to give them a new life! Brilliant concept! I will be a lifelong customer! Thank you!!!

Cant fully articulate how wonderful this place is!!! As a restorer and designer of vintage and custom furniture I am in constant need of unique materials for my projects. They offer such a variety of vibrant colors and textures from so many different design houses, I always find something unique. Also Ewa, one of the owners, has an incredible wealth of textile knowledge and is very helpful with recommendations. This spot is a legit design resource!!!

Beautiful fabric, fabulous price. Ewa was very helpful and I love that her business recycles a product that would end up in the land fill. A tragedy given the quality and design of these materials. Will definitely be ordering more yummy stuff from Modern Fabrics.

I am a junior in high school and I reached out to many fabric companies in the hopes to receive donations so that I would be able to sew masks for those who may need it. Modern Fabrics eagerly responded and exceeded my expectations by sending me quality fabrics. Thank you so much for your generous donation and kindness!

I grew up in a time when only professional interior designers were allowed into high-end textile showrooms. About 10 years ago, I was delighted as a child in a candy store to discover modern –fabrics.com. I am not a DIY‘ er, but hiring a seamstress and purchasing exactly the beautiful fabric I chose from modernfabrics.com, has allowed my home to achieve an exceptional look at a very reasonable price. The company’s fabric selection, pricing and service are excellent. One of my favorite Internet pastimes is scrolling through their digital library of gorgeous textiles. By requesting small swatches of the fabric you are interested in, you can rely on your choices of colors and weight of the fabrics you like on-line. When I look around my house, I see pillows, couches, window shades and insulated door covers made from enduringly beautiful designer upholstery from modern-fabrics.com.

There was a slight complication with one of the fabric I ordered, and Ewa went out of her way to resolve the issue and make sure I was completely satisfied with my purchase. She is also full of advise and replies to emails very promptly! I really can’t say enough, I will be back for any and all my upholstery needs!

This is such a great place with a very friendly atmosphere (thanks to its sweet owner Ewa) and a wonderful selection of high quality fabrics to meet all even the most sophisticated tastes at a very reasonable price. If you are on the lookout for fabrics to upgrade your old couch or make throw pillows to match the couch design, and you are willing to support Charlotte’s small business with environmentally friendly business model, give this place a visit.

I’m restoring some 60’s danish furniture, and wanted period-correct great quality fabric. Modern fabrics not only had exactly what I was after, but had it in abundance, innumerable choices, all excellent. Eva was very knowledgeable and skilled with suggestions. So cool that Charlotte has a special place like this. Oh and the price was about half of what you see in most design stores

Modern Fabrics is the very best at what they do: source and sell high-quality fabrics for incredibly reasonable prices. They definitely focus on quality over quantity, yet Ive always been able to find fabrics from them that fit my often specific needs.While they excel at product, the team far exceeds expectations for customer service. Communication around orders are prompt and clear - friendly, too. Our orders arrive quickly and packed well. There was a hiccup with our most recent order, and the owner was on the phone to me immediately. We found a solution that more than satisfied my need for a major project.Not only do we purchase much of our upholstery fabric from them, we enthusiastically recommend Modern Fabrics to our customers, collaborators and designers. Its great to work with a like-minded small business, and Modern Fabrics will continue to be our go-to source for great fabrics at great prices.

Visited for the 1st time today and this place is awesome!!! I will definitely be back and highly recommend if you need high quality upholstery/home decor fabric. The staff are super nice and helpful with suggestions but also not intrusive. I cant believe I havent been sooner. The other reviewer is wrong in stating that they only had remnants. I saw a ton of yardage but the selection is staggering so it does require some patience. I could have spent 2-3 hours in this store.

Modern Fabrics has an amazing, ever-changing selection! I use them for client and personal work including clothing. Recently, I redid my two couches with Kravet ultrasuede for 75% off the cost listed by other fabric suppliers: Modern Fabric price = $960 vs $3,840 full retail. I couldn’t t have done what I wanted without them.More important, Ewa, Debbie and Denise are knowledgable, enthusiastic, and thoroughly delightful to work with. Selecting fabric - especially upholstery - can seem daunting to many, but they make it easy. They take the time to find examples of what you have in mind (color, pattern, usage) and can determine the yardage required based on the project - from pillows to curtains to upholstery, or, in my case, for my handmade holiday ornaments this year.In short, it’s my favorite place to find fabric - people, selection, price!
