Excuse my gushing, but we just got in a huge shipment of SPECTACULAR  fabric from top tier designers. Does the thought of sewing with fabric from names like Valentino, Etro, Pucci, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni make your heart beat a little faster? It does mine. Take a look at these photos I snapped at our warehouse yesterday:

How about some Valentino and Pucci prints...

Or Roberto Cavalli...

Maybe a vivid print from Etro...

Or a pop Pucci panel (say hello to Nour from our warehouse)...

And look at all this French lace we acquired.

Look at all these genuine Missoni knits...

Recognize this name? We just got in loads of buttons and trim from Oscar de la Renta.

These very fabrics and trims AND LOADS MORE are on their way from our warehouse to our NYC and LA stores and website (many have already made it to the NYC store). I wanted you to have the first look, dear readers. These will go fast, I can tell.

Question for you: Have you ever sewn something from designer fabric? Some of the “designer” things I’ve made are a Meg/Oscar de la Renta silk top, a Meg/Bill Blass brocade jacket and a Meg/Marc Jacobs wool coat.  I personally like being able to flaunt a designer name when asked about a particular fabric, but that’s me. Does having fabric with a designer pedigree matter to you? Leave a comment here and let us know!
