Best Fabric Stores in Los Angeles: Our Picks by Project
The best fabric store in Los Angeles depends on what you are making. For everyday knits and production basics, our first pick is KBM Fabrics. For a broader fashion-fabric search, consider Mood. For upholstery and drapery, F&S deserves a place on your route.
This is The Fabric Lot’s project-based shortlist, researched from the stores’ own websites in September 2026. KBM is a sourcing reference for our catalog, so this is our editorial recommendation rather than an independent shopper survey.
Three Los Angeles fabric stores to know
| Store | Start here for | Location |
|---|---|---|
| KBM Fabrics | Jersey, French terry, fleece and fabric basics | 1460 Naud St |
| Mood Fabrics | Fashion fabrics, trims and notions | 1726 W Pico Blvd |
| F&S Fabrics | Upholstery and drapery | 10654 W Pico Blvd |
1. KBM Fabrics — our first stop for knits and everyday bases
KBM Fabrics is a Los Angeles fabric business established in 1984. Its catalog includes cotton jersey, French terry, fleece, ribbing, denim and canvas, with retail shopping and wholesale inquiries available. The warehouse is at 1460 Naud St, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
We put KBM first for a tee, sweatshirt or coordinated knit project. Start by comparing construction and weight, then ask about the exact color and any matching rib. A similar color name alone does not establish a match between two fabrics.
2. Mood Fabrics — for fashion fabrics and finishing details
Mood’s Los Angeles store lists cotton, denim, silk, wool, lace and upholstery fabrics, alongside trims, buttons and notions. Its published address is 1726 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015.
This is a useful choice when your project calls for comparing several kinds of fashion fabric and choosing finishing details in the same visit. Bring your pattern envelope and a reference garment if you have one; seeing a fabric on a bolt is different from seeing how it hangs.
3. F&S Fabrics — for upholstery, curtains and home projects
F&S Fabrics focuses on decorator fabrics, including upholstery and drapery materials, linens, velvet, chenille and trims. Its store is at 10654 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064. The business also lists workroom services for projects such as upholstery, cushions and custom draperies.
For a chair or curtain project, bring measurements and photos of the room. Ask about suitability for the intended use, fabric direction and pattern repeat before calculating yardage. Fabric that looks beautiful as clothing is not automatically appropriate for a heavily used seat.
How to plan a useful fabric-shopping trip
- Choose by project first. A sweatshirt search and a sofa search need different starting points.
- Check current visiting details. Confirm hours, access and stock with the store before travelling; these addresses are spread across Los Angeles.
- Bring the whole specification. Note your required yardage, usable width, fiber content, stretch and target weight.
- Compare swatches where available. Look at color in the light where the finished item will be used.
- Ask about the cut. Confirm that your required quantity can be supplied in the lengths your project needs.
Buying locally or ordering online?
Shopping in person lets you examine hand, drape and color. Online shopping is useful when you already know the specification or can start with a sample. Read our online fabric store guide for more options.
Before buying, use our GSM and ounces guide and yardage guide to make meaningful comparisons. You can also browse The Fabric Lot’s current fabrics or ask about a swatch.
