shop held by the same family for over 100 years it stated they have fabric in their store rooms from 1950's I would love to get in there and see that oh I would be in heaven. Some of their fabric cost over $1000 a yard wow

Would be interesting to see~~

Wow!! I can't image some of the material that has come and gone in that store in the past 100 years, simply amazing. It is also amazing that a fabric store has been able to hang on for 100 years. So many have come and gone, too many in fact.

Here's the link:

My grandmother used to take me there when I was a child (late 1960's). Her brother was in the garment business (who wasn't?) and she would sometimes act as his buyer.

Wow! A 1000$ a yard! I'd be ascared to use it!!

What would be worth that much? Something with tiny diamonds sewed into it for high society weddings?

I would love to see the fabric worth $1000/yard! Wow!

When DH and I visited Lanvin in Paris, they had vicuna fabric that was over $1,000/yard.
