OUR STORY

A BETTER WAY TO BUY LINEN FABRIC

In 1998, Nikolai Karpushin founded this business as a way to sell affordable fabric online in the United States and introduce people to a natural, timeless textile: 100% linen fabric.

Today, Fabrics-store.com has grown to have one of the largest inventories of European and US linen fabric online. We provide access to the finest linen fabrics at up to half the cost of our competitors because we work directly with our mills. That means no hidden fees and more fabric for you.

Why are we unique? We think that what you buy should help the world, not hurt it. Every one of our fabrics is environmentally friendly and no part of our production causes air, noise or water pollution. We only sell 100% natural fabrics and believe that wholesome fabric is the better alternative to today's synthetic textiles.

Our team is eager to help you and we hope you become a long friend of our creative community. You're awesome!
