MacCulloch & Wallis

 

A firm favourite of Fashion Antidotes for fabric and haberdashery is MacCulloch and Wallis, on Dering Street, near Oxford Street. MacCulloch and Wallis have been providing the fashion trade with fine fabrics and trimmings for over a hundred years, and are still a go-to stockist for many designers. The staff are the shops biggest asset, all very knowledgeable and really know their fabrics, so great for any assistance.  

 

They have a good range of great quality fabrics – although their prices do reflect this - and also basic fabrics and a huge range of haberdashery. They also have a great range of swatch cards and let you take cuttings and samples too.

Their website’s here, but we suggest heading over for a proper snoop round the place – it’s as inspiring as it is a useful stockist!
