After enjoying the pleasure of blocks and blocks of fabric selection in downtown LA for years I have come accustomed to a vast volume of fabric choices. This has left me with a very unique and demanding taste for fabrics.
When moving to Europe and discovering that the fabric selection was abysmal I made it my mission to uncover the hidden gems of the Dutch fabric market. For years I searched specialty fabric markets, shops and online. I even looked into the fabric store in Amsterdam used in the filming of the Dutch version of "Project Runway," only to find a store filled with a fabric selection only a drag queen could love.
I had come up empty handed. But that all changed when I went to Stoffen Spektakel at the Haarlemmermeer Expo center and fell upon who I now claim as the best fabric supplier in the country of the Netherlands, Sami. He holds the most beautiful selection of fabrics I have ever seen. My unique thirst for avant-garde fabrics had been quenched. If you are looking for beautiful prints, the highest quality silks, or just something unusual Sami will have it.
I picked up this leather fringe from Sami. The fabric spoke to me. I know exactly what I will do with it.
