Looking for fun fabrics in Paris
 
Leaving for Paris in 20 days (woohoo!).<BR><BR>One goal is to try and find some fabric I can use for throw pillows, general decorating. I'm thinking along the lines of the beautiful fabrics used to make saris.<BR><BR>Does anyone know of shops in Paris where I can find this?

Hi janeygirl:<BR><BR>I just topped a thread on this subject from a couple of days ago for you. It's called something like, &quot;Prices in Paris, especially Fabric.&quot; <BR><BR>Also, if you enter Fabric AND Paris in the search engine window at the top of the page, a few other threads on this subject will come up.<BR><BR>Good luck and have a great time in Paris. I'll be there in September.<BR><BR>Jennie

Wow - I watch this board pretty closely and I don't recall seeing the thread you topped.<BR><BR>Thanks, Jennie.

If you're looking specifically for sari fabric then try the Rue du Faubourg St Denis near the Gare du Nord. This is as close as it gets to &quot;Indiatown&quot; in Paris, and there are plenty of silk and sari stores on this bustling street.

Merci beaucoup, hanl! This looks like exactly what I was hoping to find.
