I love that they have such a wide variety of fabrics and patterns. I love when I go and it’s like a treasure hunt finding the new, exclusive, items they have! Very convenient having the drapery next door too!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this fabric store.They have an ENORMOUS inventory of lovely fabric in their two-story location and no shortage of friendly staff who are familiar & knowledgeable about everything in there from the vast array of buttons to their breathtaking selection of ribbons. And, yes, they carry ribbon in 100% silk, gorgeous rayon & 100% cotton ribbons of every color, width & type from double-sided velvets to satin & grosgrain. The last time I was there I bought a nice selection of exquisite ribbons to tie my hair back with. The prices are quite reasonable so I was able to go a bit wild buying ribbon. I also found some beautiful cotton voile with a bit of stretch to it which I plan to use on duplicating a favorite Prada blouse I can no longer squeeze into.If youre the creative type like me you will loose your mind in this place. My advice is to go when you have some extra available spending money because its very hard to leave this store empty handed.Also: Dont forget to go directly next door (head west or turn right once you exit their main front door on Beverly- its impossible to miss it cuz its the very next building) to see the magnificent selection of upholstery fabrics. You wont be sorry!Happy shopping, fabric lovers!
A huge range of fabrics and sewing supplies and a really helpful and friendly staff.
Best fabric store ever. Few things do I look forward to more than a trip to ISW.
Wanted to love this local business and came to purchase fabric. Unfortunately was greeted with “we are closing soon” instead of help and after trying to take a peek around was asked to leave the store...a full 10 minutes before closing.
Always have exactly what I need
Anything you want can be found here. Staff is awesome. An LA legend
This place is four stories of fabric/trim/everything sewing Heaven! From simple cottons to couture laces, theyve got it. They even have a great bow tie hardware kits! Itd definitely a destination and then enjoy lunch in Hidden Lane.
They don’t answer the phone and there’s no way to even know if they’re open or not
They have Everything you need
Lance and Maya made my day today with the kind of customer service thats not easy to find. And thank goodness for them because Im a complete novice and would have been lost without their expertise and artistic eyes to pick out just the right zipper and fabric. Thank you Lance, International Silks & Woolen.
The Disneyland of fabric stores. Amazing variety of fabric but not the best prices (retail). The staff is very helpful. Cant spend too much time looking around as they only validate for one hour with a $20 purchase.
This is Mecca for people who sew, knit, or craft. Its a playground for the imagination. Looking to make a costume and need a black and silver boa? Looking for fabric with wee little blue whales? Or maybe some lacy to make your own bras? They have that, too. They have EVERYTHING.Plus right now lots of stuff is makes down 10% and if you check in on googl youll also get 10% off. Run, dont walk.
Amazing fabrics and staff. Been shopping there for years and its always my first stop when I need a special fabric. They have all the classics and so many specialty and vintage fabrics. Ask for help and they are on it!
When we bought our vintage vw camper van I brought it right to norm to re-do the westfalia mattress. He gave me good advice that saved me money and did a great job refurbishing the van. Thank you Norm!!
It is an amazing store with almost everything you need to be creative! How I appreciate to have this kind of store where you can find fabrics, buttons and beyond!
Decent... incredibly unorganized
Very friendly and professional staff every time I go there It feels like family.
My old home away from home because of their exquisite fabrics and helpful (French) staff... no longer. The exquisite vintage fabric is still upstairs in a special room and well worth the visit. The staff are now like hawkers in some middle eastern bizarre... NO LABELS on the fabrics of origin anymore either
I often go to this store and find what I am looking for it. Has everything you can’t find in other places and associates are always very helpful.Thank you everyone who has helped me with my crazy and creative tailoring/alterations demand.
Sam is amazing and so is the rest of the staff here! My go-to place for any costumes I need. So convenient. I’m always in and out. I hope they stay in Business forever!
So helpful, they swatches everything I asked for and helped me with the information I needed
Lots to choose from. Warm and helpful staff. Great place to go when any type of material is needed.
Its the best fabric store around BUT it WAS A LOT BETTER FORTY (40) YEARS AGO. REALLY OVERPRICED BUT I GUESS YOURE PAYING FOR THE GREAT HELP.
An old, well stocked place to buy fabrics, trim and other items essential to the the sewing industry.
Lots and lots of different kinds of fabrics! Super high quality, but prepared for hefty price points. With quality comes price! They will cut swatches for you if you ask for them, and you can get less than a yard if needed.
I came here to buy some Black Spacer Mesh, and a man named Safwat told me that he didn’t have any in stock, but that he would order some and to come back in a few days. He gave me his business card, and he took my phone number and said he would call me if there was an issue getting the material in time.I came back in over a week later, and when I spoke with him about it, he said something like “oh they didn’t have it locally so it’ll be here in a few days because it’s coming from the factory,” which is doublespeak for “oh, I didn’t actually do anything yet, but as soon as you leave I’m going to get on the phone and do it like I said I would.”When he originally asked me when I needed it, I said that if it took longer than a week that I’d need to go somewhere else, and he told me “don’t buy it online! Don’t go online! We’ll get it here, come at the end of the week!”It’s just one of those letdowns that are very easily avoided by either improving your process or not promising things in the first place.I could easily have gone on Amazon and purchased what I needed, but I like shopping at ISW and was willing to wait a few more days to get what I needed. Now, I’ve wasted a trip across town and I’m several days behind schedule.The customer service in-person is friendly and attentive, and I can generally find what I need there. But this whole “I’ll order that for you and I have your phone number in case their are any problems” kind of nonsense isn’t doing anybody any good.
Great service. Great selection. Great place for fabrics. Others come and go. ISW has stood the test of time. Support your local fabric shops!

I always find what I am looking for here...usually more than what I came for. If you see this is one of the finest fabric stores I have ever experienced.
This is the place I go to for any fabric or baubles I need. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and are helpful by providing conventional options for unconventional projects.
