When I go on vacation I love to explore fabric shops all over the world. Taking home some yards of fabrics is a great memory of the countries I visited. So if you’re planning a trip to Dubai, its definitely worth it to free some time to discover all the fabric stores the city has to offer.
In this blog post, I’ll be taking a closer look at the top fabric shops in Dubai. I have scoured the city to find the best stores that offer high-quality fabrics, excellent customer service, and reasonable prices. So, if you’re looking for the best fabric shops in Dubai, read on to find out more!
Why you should go fabric shopping in Dubai
My favorite thing about fabric shopping in Dubai is, that you can find fabric remnants from the textile industry. Fabric remnant are pieces of fabric that are left over from the manufacturing process of clothing and other textile products. They are the end pieces or scraps of fabric that are not used in the final product and are often discarded.
Shopping industry remnants has three major benefits:
- One of the benefits of using fabric remnants is that it is an eco-friendly option. By using leftover fabric, we are reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills. Additionally, using fabric remnants is a great way to get high-quality fabric at a lower price point, making it accessible to more people.
- You can level-up the quality of your DIY wardrobe! By using industry fabrics no one will be able to tell you’ve actually made this piece of garment yourself.
- If you’re lucky you can find high-quality fabrics from major brands at a discounted price point.
Textiles, Fabrics & Crafting Supplies Dubai
The UAE and especially Dubai is a global textile hub with all kinds of fabrics, mainly imported from India and China. Not only will you find a wide variety of fabrics and materials, they are also offered at great price points. Especially travellers from Europe will be surprised about the quality of textiles you can find at a low price.
So plan ahead some space in your suitcase to bring home all the budget friendly textiles for clothes, abayas, bags and accessories as well as all kind of crafting supplies.
