kgreenbury Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Do we still have any fabric stores at Lakeside? I know about the one near Chapala Bus Station (not impressed) but I'm not aware of any others. There was a Telas Parisina in Joco but that's years ago now; I don't suppose it's still there? Maybe I have to trek to the city but really don't want to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopping and then lunch or vise versa. Easy peasy and little stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstroker Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Your best bet is to go to Guadalajara. But it's not necessary to go to the fabric district. There is a Parisina store in a shopping center that's located on the right before you get to the Lazaro Cardenas turnoff. Stay on the right side of road as you go up the hill, just after the road crests the hill and starts back down there is an exit. Take it and the first right . The shopping center is there. Can't miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIlady Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 There is a fabric store, upholstery, two doors west of Poncho's new location in Riberas. Their selection is stellar, on a par with the US. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Their work is considered exceptional. I'll let you know more when I get my sofa and chair back. Go and check out this store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 There is a nice fabric store just as you get into Guadalajara. It is on the north East corner or Ninos Heros and Calzada del Aquila. It is about 5 blocks west of Av Independencia on the north side of Ninos Heros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdlngton Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 The closest fabric store other than the one in Chapala is the fabric warebouse Textiles Capilla. This is on the highway to Guadalajara right after the La Barca highway. Watch for the Pepsi plant on the right and the warehouse is immediately following on the road that exits to the right. Real hit and miss as to what they have. In my opinion, the best fabric store in Guadalajara is Centro Mercantil Villanueva on Pedro Buzeta street in Santa Teresita. Large selection of all kinds of nice quality fabrics at reasonable prices. Also has notions section and some yarn. Even carries Burda patterns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstone Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 A day trip to Sta. Teresita is always fun. PM me if you would like to go one day. I have done it several times and am familiar with bus and cabs in GDL, and speak sufficient Spanish for a day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreenbury Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm familiar with many of the options in Guad but it's not so easy to get there anymore. I was hoping for something local that I'd missed, tho I do enjoy Sta. Teresita and the Zona Rosa. Taking that one under consideration - thanks, everyone.

bdmowers Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 There is a fabric store in Santa Teresita that is all cotton. Yes, every fabric in the store (small) is 100% cotton. Beautiful little store. Muchas mantas y mucho mas. Comercializadora Textil (sign is very hard to see), Joaquin Angula No. 1460. Tel: 333-826-2302. Couple of blocks from Centro Mercantil Villanueva. I was there today. Also, Centro Mercantil Villanueva has reorganized the store and most of the natural fabrics are now on the first floor, but not all. Also, Textiles Capilla has almost nothing but acrylic knits as of yesterday. Besides the ever-present dark blue thin denim. Otherwise, I don`t there was a single cotton fabric. The linens have dwindled to a few. No thick plastic fabric. No rayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstone Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I am up for a trip to Sta Teresita if anyone wants to go. I take the bus from Chapala, then a cab or UBER if you have the app to the fabric district. Shop until you drop and then come home the same way. You can also go to Centro in GDL, walk the Plaza Tapatio and enjoy a full day of shopping there. I usually reserve that for the "winter" as it can get really hot with all that concrete.
