Penang Lane in Chinatown also has a lot of fabric shops that carry 100% cotton, that too is where one would go for notions and zippers/handbag hardware etc - there are separate shops for notions, shops for fabrics. Bring an extra suitcase for fabric, I bought 55 yards, price and quality were just too good to pass up. Also the Jim Thompson Factory outlet is worth a visit, for silk and cotton yardage and ready made articles such as clothing, cushion covers etc.
