Promenade Fine Fabrics

Insane button selection - I was completely overwhelmed trying to find buttons for a cardigan I just knit. The staff and owners were incredibly kind and helpful, and I bought a great, affordable set of buttons with their expertise. This store makes me want to sew more - I will be back and back again!!

My first visit!!!! I LOVE this store. There are sew many fine fabrics. I was like a kid in a candy jar. My sister and I each bought fabric to take back to Dallas. It was nice meeting the owner who stated he'd been in business for 51 years. I can't wait to come back and shop for more. He also had some awesome buttons.

A stitch in time! So grateful to find this well-stocked Fabric store along St. Charles Avenue in Central City. Since it's Mardi Gras season, the need for fabric increases exponentially. I needed about 1/2-yard of silk to supplement the back of my formal ball gown. The owner, who was such a nice gentleman, took my dress and went to and fro, looking to find just the right color, weight, and texture of fabric to match my sequined ball gown. After about 10 minutes of looking through dozens and dozens of bolts of material, he found that "just right" fabric. After comparing it once more, we both agreed and he quickly cut the fabrIc, accepted my cash, and packaged my goods. He also inquired about whether I had a seamstress and we called one extemporaneously. What exceptional service!

Great fabric, some gems, some frogs, a little bit of everything. That's to say in and out of the budget. Hopefully we will get some better fabric stores with more to offer in New Orleans, with a wider variety of patterns in the bold and beautiful array of multicolor heaven. This place was lovely and calm but not enough pop, it was more along the lines with old and safe but still nice. Maybe they should go outside the box a bit with their selections. My review gives 4 stars because of the quality of the fabric alone however, like previously noted the color combo selection needs to be broadened IMO..

I literally could hear the angels sing when I stepped in to this store. I have been sewing since my teens, which now has been over 50 years. I know a good specialty fabric store when I am in one. I have been to the stores in the Garment District in NYC and Promenade Fabrics is far superior then any of them. Especially in price, selection, and customer service! There is nothing in the NYC garment district that comes even close to the Southern hospitality you are encased in while shopping here. If you don't see what you're looking for then ask! I'm not a gambling person but I'd lay some serious money they'll find it for you.They have the most exquisite fabrics I have ever seen along with vintage French lace and ribbons, and exotic buttons. What appears to be a small store just goes on and on with wonderful treasures of which you would be very hard pressed to find anywhere else in the USA.Hector, the establishment creator and owner, is the most quintessential Southern gentleman and he greets every customer who comes through the shop door. I am originally from Mobile, Alabama and my encounter with Hector harkened back to the days of personal service without any overbearing selling. He wanted me to have a good time while I was there. He showed me fabrics that literally brought tears to my eyes to see. He made me feel at ease asking to see one right after the other of the specialty fabrics located at the back of the store. These fabrics are handled only by the store staff. For a reason. They are delicate, actually very delicate, and exquisite doesn't begin to describe their beauty. (Think Halle Berry's dress when she won the Oscar in 2002). They have high end fabrics from Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers. If you are a seamstress or simply a fabric hoarder (which I think I have become over the years) then I can't even begin to recommend this store highly enough if you are ever in NOLA and have the opportunity to visit. I wholeheartedly agree with each of the other reviews. Do not go in without some serious cash or a good amount of available credit on your credit card as this is a seamstress' temptress of fabrics!! Thank heavens they have an Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PromenadeFabrics since I live in Sedona, AZ and can't go to this store everyday of the year that they are open in New Orleans. If I could, I would BUT rest assured that when I win the big megamillion lottery there will be lots and lots of fabric added to my sewing room from Promenade Fabrics.

Amazing. I have shopped for fabric in NY, Paris & every where in between. The service was top notch. No matter what your budget is. Prices are fair. I walked out with amazing finds and great stories behind them. Cannot wait to come back and do more business with them.

Thank goodness fabric stores like Promenade still exist. I could spend hours perusing through the bolts of fabric, picking out the perfect button, and talking with the owners.

High end fabrics selection. Bought beautiful print velvet upholstery fabric. Gentleman manager was very helpful. Lots of options for special orders also. Nice location. Would return.

So I was going to spend quite a bit of money with them and ordered a fabric sample. Alas it was the size of a playing card making it impossible to know the pattern of the full fabric. Really a cheap approach if you want to sell merchandise. I'll look elsewhere.

If you are looking for unusual, even one of a kind fine fabrics for dressmaking, upholstery or another DIY project, your search is over. Promenade Fine Fabrics, located in New Orleans, has choices beyond belief.Every time I have needed special fabric, ribbons or trim, I have looked no further than Promenade. From antique French silk ribbon to REAL SILK TAFFETA to gorgeous vintage Jacquard trims, PFF has it all.The quality of service is beyond reproach and if something is wrong with an order, Cole Halpern will do everything in his power to make it right. PFF is continually updating their vast inventory so each time you view their website or their bricks and mortar store, there is fresh merchandise to dazzle you. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
