Fabrics, Trims, and Clasps
Since we purchase our fabric in the Los Angeles fabric district we are able to offer a large selection of colours and fabrics for reasonable prices.
We purchase fabrics Made in the USA as much as possible.
There are variations in the color in the medium cottons. This is because they are mostly 100% cotton and from different mills and dye lots.
If you would like to see and feel our fabric before you order, we can send you a swatch card.
