shropshirelass Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 HiI need to buy some fabric for curtains etc and am looking for either a market shop or discount fabric warehouse. I'm particularly looking for a largish quantity of red toile de jouy. Is there anywhere with a large selection of fabrics in either Bordeaux or Agen that you could recommend please? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 If you can't find a shop you might consider Ebay -http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Red-Toile-De-Jouy-Quality-sateen-curtain-Fabric_W0QQitemZ8230266306QQcategoryZ112538QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemHoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shropshirelass Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hi HoddyThanks so much for the link to ebay - it's exactly what I'm looking for so I may well order 1 metre to see if it's as good in "real life" as the picture suggests.Many thanksKim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 There is a large fabric shop with a huge range of materials in Agen on the Avenue du Docteur Jean Bru. This is the dual carriageway between the N113 (coming from Toulouse, Valence d' Agen etc) and the road to the autoroute and the shop is almost opposite the rugby stadium.There are a Halle de Vetements and a Halle de Chaussures on the same site. Access to these shops is only possible from the southbound carriageway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 If you google 'toile du jouy' you will find links to a fabric shop who do mail order, they have a wide selection of the patterns and also things like toning striped fabric.If I remember correctly it comes in nice wide widths too....edit - I think this is ithttp://www.french-fabrics.com/shopdisplaycategories.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shropshirelass Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Wow - thanks for all your help here it's really much appreciated. With limited time available when we visit our house we don't want to waste it searching (most fruitlessly) for things we need. This is a great help.Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
