Twenty years inside the trade. We thought it was time to open the door.
We're an Australian-owned textile business with operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong that we spent twenty years building, supplying quality printed and base fabrics to garment makers, brands, and wholesalers across Europe and Asia. The Fabric Shop brings that fabric out front: original prints and quality bases, made to order, sold by the metre, shipped worldwide.
We supply the trade. Now we supply you.
You're buying right from the source: the same trade that prints and stocks fabric for brands, now open to anyone who makes.
Every metre checked
Before anything ships, it's checked: the print, the base, the cut length. It's the QC we built supplying the trade, now applied to a single metre the same way.
Three ways to buy. One shop.
Designer prints, stocked fabrics and notions, and your own artwork. All by the metre, on the same quality bases. One shop, whatever you're creating.
You make. We look after the rest.
We partner with designers worth following, choose fabric that lifts your work, and we're here whenever you need us. The making is yours, the rest is ours.
The studios behind every print.
Every print on PrintLab comes from an independent designer running their own studio on the platform, a Design Partner who earns on every metre. Choose a print, choose a base, and we make it to order.
We make it when you order it, then ship it wherever you make.
Nothing here is printed on spec. Every print is made for your order and every length cut to size — so the design you want never sells out, and nothing's run off that won't be used. Then it ships worldwide, with duties and any local taxes for your country laid out clearly at checkout.
By the metre, no minimums
Order a single metre or a hundred. No bolt to buy, no print run to fund — just what your project needs.
Sample before metres
Order a sample first — see the print and feel the fabric before you commit to a full length.
Shipped worldwide
Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, North America and Japan — delivered to your door, costs clear at checkout.

Founders
The Fabric Shop is founded by Nick and Nataly. Between them they've spent their working lives in the textile trade, sourcing and supplying the fabric that goes into other people's labels. They built the shop to sell that fabric direct, by the metre, to anyone who makes.
