Best for: internationally sourced threads
Transport: Oxford Circus
This charming little store – one of the more tasteful of Berwick Street’s fabric shops – lures customers in with artful window displays. Inside, the premises are neat as a pin, with wooden floors, bolts of fabric, spools of coloured thread and enticing trays of buttons. Downstairs, more rolls of gingham, cotton poplin, wools and hand-loomed silk await, and there’s a great selection of patterned fabrics, with everything from pretty Laura Ashley styles to Liberty-esque lines. It’s not cheap, but, with fabrics sourced from all over the world, it is deeply tempting.
