Super awesome to see the store featured in Project runway! We even got to see Swatch. The staff were courteous and welcomed us as soon as we walked in. If you have a big bag, just know you will need to check it at the door.
Great environment, friendly staff, and a wide variety of fabrics.
My favorite place! You can find Everything at mood's!
The Best fabric store . If you can not find what you need in this store....there is a problem. The staff are there to assist you and they do that very well . I cant wait for my next trip
It is the perfect place for those who like to buy fabrics and supplies for clothing .. the people they serve are super good and there are people who speak Spanish so there is no problem for those who do not know English.
One stop place for all your fabric needs. They have everything, literally. The range, variety is impressing. They have stock from all over the world, the UK, Australia, Italy. You name it they have it. Plus everyone is super helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended!
On 37th St in the Garment district, Mood Fabrics actually has a couple of locations. One is retail and the other one is for wholesale. There numerous materials, textures and styles to choose.
So many fabrics.
3rd floor is where fashion fabrics are.
I wish I lived closer! The fabric and notion selection can't be beat and all the staff are super helpful and friendly. I've been in 2 times (I live 10 hrs away) this year and been impressed both times. I wish I had been there when Swatch was in too, but maybe next visit! :)
People friendly and helpful. I was greeted warmly even though I was just a tourist and watch PR. Swatch was there and runs the store!
I really love this fabric store! I can spend hours go through all the fantastic fabrics they have...great assortments!
Nothing like getting yelled at to have my bag checked and when I go to get it checked I m told it s ok. I go to look around and I m yelled at again to have my bag checked. This has happened every time I have come here. I won t be coming here again nor will I be ordering online. I will also be informing my sewing friends of my experiences here. Btw they do not warn you when project runway will be there so hope for the best when you go cause if they are there it s a -10/10
Always a must stop when in the city! We love you guys and especially Swatch!!
Ample amount of fabrics to choose from. If you're looking for variety, this is the place for you.
Amazing variety of materials and friendly, helpful staff.
Best place in NYC for beautiful fabrics. Knowledgeable and friendly staff too! And a very cute woof, woof!
I enjoyed the pattern class very much. I'm taking home some very useful information.
I was visiting from Seattle and actually she'd tears of joy after visiting and getting to meet Swatch! Project Runway is my favorite show. Mood fabrics is heaven!
You would be in heaven if you love fashion and textile! Get a free swatch and enjoy seeing the various fabrics!
Incredibly large amount of fabrics. The prices are rather high, but if you need something specific it's the place to go. Also the sewing classes are a must if you live in city.
Great place! If you want a fabric, they have it. They are featured on the TV show "Project Runway". Pet their dog, Swatch.
If you go to the store it is great. The representatives help you find fabrics and the inventory is amazing. Online horrible. The shipping is super slow, which makes it hard if I need something for my business fast. They might as well get rid of their online reps. They will do absolutely as little as possible. Their answers are ones any average person can figure out by themselves by looking through the online store. It is not only frustrating but a waste of time for business people like me. My suggestion to the Mood owner, have an online rep that is at the actual store on the floor so that they can actually help. I am sure you have many customers like me who don't live there and it would be nice to help us out since we can't visit the store. Look at some of the 3 star reviews. They are all accurate.
A required pilgrimage for all Project Runway fans. For "Swatch", plan on a weekday trip (Mon-Fri). Awesome fabric selection.
FYI - Came in here for getting a watch battery replaced and was informed that they no longer provide this service.
Staff is either really friendly or totally nasty and elitist. But this place has everything and is a Mai stay of the Garment industry. I mean obviously, as it was a feature on Project Runway.
They are soft mostly and I appreciate it. But I am told I am not to rub my face on the cloths to test thrm.... I was sad when i went to sleep that night
Every non licensed fabric you can imagine, but super snobby staff.
Very cool fabric shop. Project Runway??? My girls love it. Staff were nice.
stopped giving samples. after 5 years of going to them they stop giving samples... like, y'all just lost so much business
More than just a fabric store, this longstanding establishment embodies the passion of the fashion industry. From fabrics to trims, from books to classes, they empower any designer or hobbiest to achieve any fashion dream.
This is the best place to find any and all fabrics. And don't miss an opportunity to meet Swatch!
I came here on a Monday around 11am. A pretty good time to browse. Not many customers. Also, being about a week from Christmas day, I assume the student customers are all done with their finals and on their way back home, out of NYC, which makes the store extra quiet this time of year.
I love coming here, because it takes me back to being in fashion school. It makes me nostalgic. I used to buy most of my school project fabrics from Mood. I won an award from a project that utilized Mood fabric. Such good memories! And they just have a great selection of fabrics. High-end, low-end, almost anything that you could imagine, you can find here.
Even though the store wasn t busy, it was still a little difficult to find someone to help me. I still take advantage of their swatching service, before I buy a fabric. I take home swatches to compare the color and hand-feel to other pieces I m going to use with that fabric.
You can t swatch just any fabric. For example, the designer beaded fabrics can t be swatched. And probably some of the other really expensive fabrics. But all the basic fabrics can be swatched. So get swatches cut by the sales associates before you get full yardage cut. Fabric can t be returned, as it is already cut from the bolt.
If you love fabric stop here. Meet Swatch (the dog) and check out the selection.
look forward to the day when I can walk through the store I am looking on the web sight and it is amazing I am sure this is a one stop shop it would be almost impossible not to find what you ate looking for
Knowledgeable staff and wide selection. They also have free classes.
I live in Florida and I wish I was closer to New York I flew in last year had a gift card from my daughter for Mother's Day I actually brought a large suitcase Empty So on my return flight I had plenty of room for all the fabric I plan l to buy and I really packed that suitcase I loved it it's a good thing I don't live near there I would be in the poor house loved it loved it is so many choices it took me 4 hours to decide on a couple of prints there's just so much absolutely fabulous all we have down here is Joanne which is really mostly for a crafter or someone who quilts not for dressmaking
The selection of fabrics is vast. The staff was very helpful. I came In looking for upholstery fabric. the prices are a bit high but the fabrics are of very good quality. I found the remnant used to reupholster an accent chair for my bedroom for $20 and I absolutely love it.
All the fabrics you need! Do not forget to get your rewards card
Amazing fabrics variety! The quality is worth the price
This is the place to go if you sew in NYC. It has almost everything you could need.
Average pricing and huge store on three floors. The biggest selection I saw. Focuses on stuff to actually wear, such as fine suiting, neoprene, leather, jersey, silk, cotton.
Still the best place for fabric. Haven't been there in a number of years, some of the staff changed, but service was as good as before. Excellent location.
Beliable quality, bit expensive. Mostly It is like tourist spot than fabric shop.
Amazing selection of high end fabrics. I wish I could sew. Just enjoyed looking and touching all the beautiful fabrics
Excellent as always, great service and amazing fabrics.
Decent place to shop but way too pricey for fabric you can't repurchase.
As a die hard Project Runway fan I've always wanted to visit the store. So when I finally made my way to NYC it was literally the first place I went after dropping my bags off at the hotel!!
For once the picture in my head paled in comparison to the reality of the iconic fabric store. First, imo, it's actually much bigger than it appears on the show. There's fabric EVERYWHERE..but it is well organized and easy to find what you're looking for. The staff was ridiculously gracious and accommodating. I was there on a busy Saturday afternoon when there were tons of people doing real fabric shopping and not just browsing, taking selfies / videos, and basking in the "Mood" like me. Yet, my fangirling was respectfully indulged anyway :D The absolute best part of my visit was when I got to the check-out to buy a Mood t-shirt & bag and the cashier (I really wish I'd have asked her name she was awesome) took the time to share a few fun facts about the scenes filmed there. Although I'm certain she's been asked the same questions a million times, she shared in my excitement and made me feel like I was the first person who ever asked her!!
Needless to say my visit to Mood started off my NYC trip on a high note :)
"THANK YOU MOOD"
Excellent advice from the salesperson helped me make a perfect selection of fabrics suited to my design.
If you like sewing this is a must stop when in NYC.
Great selection of fabric, prices can be steep and some employees have been there for years and have been constiently rude to me which is always a treat.
You will find what you're looking for. Good quality fabrics and great fashion designs
While you can get fabric most any place in the district - the staff in Mood are the deal! Helpful and you know us tourist are always to needy. Thank you!
Always love coming here! The staff is super helpful!
Overwhelming at times but that's what you get for an affordable fabric store. Would definitely recommend
Even though I could have been labeled a tourist, no one here made me feel that way. Everyone was helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. The selection is as fast as I expected and I was thrilled to find a fabric that would have been very difficult if not impossible to locate in AZ (there isn't a huge demand for heavy wool blends in this climate). I can't deny that the highlights were finding a gorgeous fabic, being in a Project Runway iconic location, and petting a very sweet puppy. It is totally a fabric version of Disneyland (happiest place on Earth)!
I love those fabrics can you open a shop in India in my city because I love to but those fabrics please open one shop.
Perfect fabric store for designers, you can even find fabrics for luxury brand such as Armani and Thom Browne here
Love Moods! They offer awesome fabrics and embellishments
At the time that I went was around 3pm it was just too chaotic for me. Definitely has more options than you local fabric stores but it really depends on what you are looking for. I was excited to go and look for some high end buttons to put on my coat this year but the experience was less than impressive. I felt rushed and almost annoyed that the counter is right in front of the button wall. Every time I tried to step back to look at the buttons from at least a foot away someone would bump into me saying excuse me in order to stand on line. I absolutely get the logic behind it but unfortunately the amount of tourist at the check out and the famous dog Swatch laying right by the button wall, ! Lol i wanted to be in and out but everyone just wanted selfies with Swatch. Overall I would give it another try at another time. 8 glass buttons for $38 its pretty pricey but they look amazing!
This place is amazing! They have everything you could possibly want. They have the most gorgeous suiting. The staff is also super helpful.
Mood is lovely. It has an eclectic selection of fabrics and its own in-house line of prints that tantalize every time I visit the site. I've previously placed orders without issue- however, this most recent experience has me second-guessing continuing to use Mood as a source.
I've spent the last month and a half trying to chase down an answer from customer service, as my order would not produce shipping quotes. It would have been nice to know a month and a half ago that a product in my cart was unable to cross the border. It also would have been nice if the customer service rep who promised me a list of these no-go products had followed up with the thing they promised three days ago. This situation has resulted in a significant delay on my own freelancing business that didn't need to happen had the customer service team replied to my inquiries over a month ago.
I still have to place an order with them, and I will follow through on that. I won't get a discount on the purchase like the rep promised me, because I'm tired of having to do the leg work on making this situation right. Moving forward, I will do my best to avoid Mood as a materials source. I cannot work with a company that has such an ineffective customer service branch. My business will not be missed, but other reviews indicate that this issue isn't isolated, and if Mood isn't yet feeling the pinch of this negligence, they will in due time.
Please do better. This part of the business is so easy to get right and y'all are really, really dropping the ball.
Staff is dismissive when busy and they don t know fiber content of their fabric
Absolutely fabulous, so much fun designer fabrics to choose from! Fabric heaven.
BUYER BEWARE!! I have always loved the fabrics here and have bought quite a few in person in NYC. BUT I recently ordered a $25/yd Nicole Miller stretch twill online and spent hours and hours making a beautiful jacket. The fabric became extremely wrinkled as I worked on it, but I assumed I could fix it with ironing or washing. But no, it looks HORRIBLE and is UNFIXABLE. I tried everything. I called to let them know, not even expecting a refund, but the woman on the phone treated me like I was an idiot and tried to tell me that the pictures on the website showed all the wrinkles, which is ridiculous. This fabric should NOT be sold, but they could care less. Typical New York retailer -- they know everything and customers are stupid. In my case, I was stupid to trust them.
