In our store you will find all the fabrics that are listed in the online shop: a huge selection of European linen fabrics, from linen waffle to double gauze to knitwear and jersey. Atelier Goldfaden also offers hemp fabrics, ramie, raw silk, organic cotton and innovative sustainable fibers such as Tencel or Lyocell.
Also you can find here your favorite indie sewing patterns and high-quality, durable sewing accessories, from Japanese tailor's shears to recycled threads.
Exclusively at the store you can find a collection of second hand fabrics and patterns. These are selected second hand fabrics and patterns - either from private sources or samples from fashion companies.
The collections are compiled according to the season and thematically. The prices normally range between CHF 5.- and 15.-/m. We donate 100% of the proceeds from second hand sales to Fashion Revolution Switzerland.
