In this video I head to J Fabric in Bangkok, Thailand which is a supplier that has the most unique fabrics and patterns from Japan and Korea. This is the absolute top end of small run fabric in all of Asia and Khun M and Khun Oil stand out not just for their amazing selection but also their out of the world customer service. I could spend all day going through the fabric options at J Fabric, and they turn over their supply so quick there is always something new. If you like it, buy it, because it will be gone.
I've missed out on getting fabric by minutes it goes so quick.
China World is the flip side of the fabric coin in Bangkok, they are low to mid-end of fabrics but at amazing prices suitable for everyday projects. You can always find amazing deals there.
If you are shopping for fabric in Bangkok then both J Fabric and China World are must-visit destinations.
The approach that Jib and I take to SV Haberdashery is that we want our products to be sustainable fashion, we want them to be built to last and we want to embrace the slow fashion methodology. These are the core values for us and SV Haberdashery, that is why we buy our fabric from suppliers like J Fabric, because they share those same values and we trust them.

Thanks for the content. I am so lucky that I could find your channel.
My pleasure!
@@IdeaStudioBKK can I contact you from Twitter if u don’t mind? I really need help for sourcing about fabric.
Dude! these fabrics look amazing, and that guy with the mustache at the boat pier cracked me up, I don't know why. lol
Thanks, The fabrics at J are wonderful, and really high quality. China World, not so much, they are on the lower end of the spectrum, but still a good spot to visit. I can't wait to get back out and start sourcing fabrics again.
Great content and wonderful video!!! Thanks! Cheers from Alaska!!
Thank you :-) How are things in Alaska right now?
@@IdeaStudioBKK Hi! Things are going slow here in the wintertime; spring will be in about 3.5 months. I really like your channels, they are quite interesting. I have been traveling to Thailand for over 14 years and when things get normal again love to meet up with you and Jib in Bangkok. Take care and keep on enjoying what the world offers!!
Hello I have just discovered your channel. This is a super useful video for me. I do a lot of sewing for myself and I have been going holiday to Bangkok and thailand for 15 years now. the last year I have been mulling with the idea of buying larger quantities of fabrics when i visit to both sell in the uk and maybe branch out in sewing dresses for selling as I get lots of comments on what I make from the fabrics i bring back. I usually buy all my fabrics at Hieng Yoo Huat on Asoke junction and I love them. They've served me well over the years and they've got great apparel fabrics at good price. But I have been wanting to try chinaworld fabric mall. After watching your video I certainly will visit J fabric and the fabric mall! Thank you for the video and I will watch out for any other videos you'll put out on fabrics and haberdashers. I have just suscribed both to your youtube channel and instagram.
Hi Nathalie, Thank you very much for your comment and for subscribing. I also love Hieng Yoo Huat they have some great fabric selection (and they are right across the street from Pala Pizza lol), I probably shop there two or three times per month. For dresses I an see how their fabrics are a great selection. I pick up the black denim I make bag straps from there.
There are some other big shops I will be covering in future videos, as well as diving into more about the business of fashion so you might find those videos interesting. I've really started to take a small and micro business on this channel so it lines up well.
Jib and I are talking about some possible china, HK, Malaysia, and Singapore trips for fabric sourcing as well. so stay tuned for those.
You might enjoy my longer interview with Jai Sachdev who comes from a long line of fabric merchants and offers some great insights.
Hello again Dana, I must have walked past Pala Pizza 100s of times and not noticed them!
I understand what you mean with making a micro business work. I don't want to go for the big bucks because I think it's in direct opposition to the idea of diy and crafts. People who buy fabrics and sew want something different and usually want quality as well and from my own experience and personal tastes, I have a feeling that offering small quantities of curated quality quirky fabrics people can't find in the other internet outlet is an avenue worth exploring to start with.
I'd love to offer one off dresses using the fabrics i source, put a couple of designs in my studio and see if there is interest.Sort of semi couture on commission ,but I am not convinced if that is a viable option mainly because of the high cost, time intensive labour involved. It can take me weeks to complete a dress as I do a lot of hand finishing inside.
Anyway I have also watched the Jav Sachdev interview you did but i'm intrigued as i've tried to research the huddersfield textiles afterwards, found fabrics company in huddersfield in the uk and I'm not sure if this is the same people.
I will be looking out for your future haberdashery and fabric buying content.
nathalie duran I lived in Bangkok for two years and walked past Pala hundreds of times before I discovered it LoL
The hand finishing is very difficult and time consuming. I made Jib a clutch to match a dress she made for a Thai wedding we attended and hand finishing the side seams took longer than the rest of the make. And my fingers also felt as though they were about to fall off. LoL
The micro business approach is certainly very rewarding. I love hand making every piece I sell. I’ve done big tech business in the past and it’s a different lifestyle altogether.
One of the thing I’ll be talking about in the future is rounding out my collections will smaller, lower priced pieces that can be made faster like the fabric scarves in my collection or made from leftover fabric like my selvedge keychains. :-)
Thanks
Welcome
hi loved the vid can you recommend a good shirt tailor ive been coming to bangers for 20 years and to be honest the last time i was there i paid over te odds for a dozen shirts made p from fabrics i had chosen myself to be different any advice ?
oh and several of the fabrics i saw in china world i had made up into shirts several years ago
great vid tho
have a good time and enjoy we are back in december ahh the joys of having a 70kg luggage allowance and we wear flip flops t shir and shorts
tanks once again
dave n nat
Dave, This is a little secret, Just about every tailor shop in Bangkok has their shirts cut and sewn by the same sewing factory. They send out your measurements with the order details and fabric to have it outsourced. Only a few select high-end shops cut and sew in house. So the best thing to do is pick your shop based on them having the fabric you want. Avoid the lower end of shops in places like MBK because most of them will be selling you cotton fabric blended with polyester, which is the lowest end of fabric.
Before you go know what style of collar and cuff you want and how fitted or lose you want the cut. Make sure to articulate that to the shop and when you go back for a fitting Keep in mind that these shirts will shrink about 10%.
If you want to ensure that the fabric is not a poly blend ask the shop for a small sample and then burn it with a lighter. if it just turns to ask it's cotton if it pills up in little balls while it burns then you know it's a poly blend.
Dude, what are you making with that fabric and how can I buy it!?!?!
Right now just working on totes and scarves for the next collection.
Hi, i wanted to ask how are you able to stay in thailand as a foreigner ? I am actually studying fashion design and i really like this country, however i know that staying/working over there is not easy. If you don't mind can you please talk about it or answer me ? Hope you hava a great day and thank you 🥰
Hey, thanks for checking out the video and for your questions. I am married to a Thai so that covers my visa and I we own a company so that is how I get a work permit.
Hello i have two question one can we order for canada different kind of fabric from J fabric i would like to sale their fabric second one im still looking to find a manufactured where i can print my custom design do you have any tips to give me on that thank you very much for your video
Hey Juile, you can get in touch with me via my Instagram account @SVHaberdash and I can help you on both of those matters. I can connect you to Khun M from J Fabric, However I am unsure if he is an exporter. As for printing your own fabric I can help you for that from design to printing and can export to Canada.
Where is the place i mean the name of the place i want to go there tank you
J fabric, not far from Sampang
How is this different from wholesalers from china as far as pricing?
China world in Bangkok seems to be on par with price and quality I have seen at the markets in China. We only do small runs of items so for us this is fine.
@@IdeaStudioBKK thank you so much for the information. I have families from Laos like to get into the fabric retailing business.
Could you locate this place please and I would be grateful to you
The link to the shops page is in the description.
Hello Dana please recommend a bridal fabric store for me in China
I can probably get you some solid recommendations for Thailand, but the China market is a bit outside my scope.
If you can go to Thailand I would recommend Hieng Yoo Huat in the Asok area. they have an amazing fabric section and lots of stuff that could be used for bridal wear. But if you are looking for a high volume fabric merchant I can connect you directly to one of the biggest in the world, just message me and I will make the connection.
If you dont mind than plz can you provide me your whatsapp number. So that we will discuss on better way
@@Abisingh435 hi what’s your Facebook or Instagram name?? I feel same sharing my number on there
Abi sing
Hello sir I hope ypu notice me Im from Philippines, I subscribed already Im looking for warehouse or wholesale of chiffon mini floral printed fabric I hope you can help me
Hey Jessa, I responded to your Twitter message. Cheers.
Would anybody please suggest a good silk fabric market? Thank you!
Hey Bella, I've got three suggestions for you if you are in Bangkok.
1. the Jim Thompson Factory Store is on Shukumvit Soi 93, they have some beautiful silks.
2. There are some shops in China World that sell silk, but inspect everything closely before you buy.
3. There is a shop inside the green gate of the Chitralada Villa Royal Residence. You will need to be dressed by the same dress code if you were to go to the Grand Palace (must cover your knee, no sleeveless shirt, must have a collar shirt, and no flip flop and will need your passport to gain entry. This shop has an amazing variety of Thai silks, probably the best selection of any shop I have seen.
@@IdeaStudioBKK Thank you so much for your priceless suggestions. I will be sure to followup on all of them. One more question for you if you don't mind. I hope to be in Bangkok for 10 days at the end of February 2021, and then on to Hanoi. In your opinion, would it be better to purchase silk in Bangkok or in Hanoi? Many thanks for your kindness in taking the time to reply. Peace!
Bella Ferman good question. the silks in Thailand and vietnam are a bit different in a few ways so its going to depend on your preferences and what you want to use it for. they each have a slightly different feel as each country weaves and dyes a bit different. So it will depend on your preferences and what you are making.
ive seen a lot more imitation silk in vietnam that is trying to be passed as real silk, so thats something to be aware of.
Bella Ferman ill probably he filming a silk video soon to go into detail a bit more about options in Asia.
@@IdeaStudioBKK Thanks so much Dana! Looking forward to your next video and I appreciate your assistance. Peace!😊
How can we contact to vendor..
You have to build the relationship. go to their shops, talk to them, get to know them.
Wow it is cheap than china
hot pepper the fabrics at the China World mall are very cheap. Very very cheap. But K Fabric is fairly expensive because that fabric is premium. But still cheaper than the US for similar quality.
Hello Dana ,I want chiffon fabric in big quantity in bangkok.can you provide me some address
How big of a quantity are you looking for?
