Do you live near an Abakhan store? They usually carry a fair bit of stock of those.

It depends on what you mean by best :slight_smile:

If after ‘best’ for quality and variety then John Lewis is amazing and there are some really good shops in soho too around Berwick street.

There is a huge Fabric shop off edgware road (just past bake and cake where the market is) which has a HUGE variety Joel & Son Fabrics - Joel & Son Fabrics all sorts of dressmakers can be found in there hunting out treasures!

There are also a few arab material shops on Uxbridge road in Shepherds Bush– ‘Zain’ being particularly good.

If after the desi kind where you get matching shalwar and dupatta then I find Southall is better than the other Asian areas just because of the sheer number of shops selling loose material– there is a lot of variety in fabric. Can’t point out one particular shop as its just a matter of finding what you like!
