I thought it was good to tell you where to buy fabrics in Japan but it would be even better to tell you about my city, I named Brussels! Especially since since May 2022, C'est du Joly has opened its doors in the dynamic district of the cemetery of Ixelles.

I made a selection of the stores that I know for having visited them, having tested them, having bought them...so for which I can give a real opinion. They are listed in alphabetical order and not in order of preference. I deliberately excluded the big chains from my selection.

I therefore present to you to begin with C'est du Joly which after 2 years of online commerce only opened its doors in a lively district of Ixelles at 357 avenue de la Couronne. There is another way to find knitted fabric manufacturers, search on web and ecommerce platform. The atmosphere of the boutique workshop is zen and relaxing and the bet is successful with a boutique where you feel good as soon as you walk through the door! The fabrics are well highlighted thanks to a wooden piece of furniture made to measure to have an easy view of the collections.

C'est du joly specializes in Japanese fabrics but offers a wide choice of materials you will find jersey, French terry, velvet, viscose, double gauze, minky... Eugénie is keen to offer excellent quality products... her credo "to offer products that she herself would like to use!" and this is obviously reflected in the very particular selection of fabrics in this shop.

The haberdashery is also well stocked with bias binding, piping, zippers (YKK), zips by the meter, straps, kam/metal snaps, ... The selection of products for making bags is well thought out and for lingerie lovers , you will find a very nice selection of elastics for lingerie and stretch lace...

You will also find patterns for ladies and gentlemen but also a selection of reference works to progress in sewing and embroidery.
