Banksville Designer Fabrics began in a farmers market in Banksville, New York, and moved to Norwalk, Connecticut, in 1986. After working at the shop for 25 years, Lori Hill purchased it on December 17, 2019, carrying forward its tradition of beautiful fabrics and personal service.
We offer designer deadstock and end cuts from high-end New York apparel and home-decorating houses, with a particular fondness for linen, cotton, silk, wool and cashmere, alongside viscose and selected synthetics. Many fabrics arrive in quantities of less than 25 yards and cannot be reordered, so each visit brings something different.
Browse online or stop in to feel the fabrics, explore combinations and talk through your project. Sample garments, pillows and displays offer inspiration, and we love sharing sewing advice.
