Fabric Design, often described by customers as an Aladdin's Cave, is a characterful, double fronted Victorian shop located on the main promenade in picturesque Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. Originally established in 1976 in a small shop in the neighbouring town of Matlock, Fabric Design quickly grew in reputation as a stockist of exciting and unusual fabrics and moved in 1986 to its present and larger premises.
We take pride in our buying skills and our ability to offer customers something different to the usual 'run of the mill', in addition to providing exceptional customer service and interior design advice. Within our four rooms, we have 1000's of metres of fabrics on the roll and also 100's of metres of our pre-cut designer seconds pieces at very competitive prices.
The roll stock is constantly being added to and updated and with such bargains to be had, our designer seconds pieces always get snapped up quickly. We stock curtaining and upholstery fabrics which range from cottons, plain linens, prints, embroidered linens, 100% wool tartans, damasks, jacquards, lampas, plain silk dupion to embroidered silks.

Services
We have a bespoke, hand stitched curtain and blind making service but can also make up cushions, bed throws, lampshades for example and try to accommodate other requests whenever possible. Whatever your interior furnishing requirements, Fabric Design can provide quality products and quality service every time.
We have over 30 years' experience of curtain making and offer a high quality bespoke, hand stitched curtain and blind making service for domestic dwellings, B&B's, guest houses, pubs, hotels, schools, community buildings etc. All styles of curtain headings can be accommodated including embellishments i.e. top/bottom banding strips, contrasting leading edges, trimmings etc. in addition to new ideas of your own.
The majority of our roll stock is made up of repeatable perfect designs. We strive to drive a hard bargain with our suppliers in order to get great deals on stock rolls and therefore offer our customers low prices. We also buy in designer clearance fabrics and the odd 'second' roll, which again results in providing the customer with more bargains and often one off chances to obtain something truly unique.
We have customers from all over the UK and Europe and we regularly post fabrics and curtains out to customers who have visited the shop whilst on holiday in Derbyshire, or who have found us through the web. If you are not in the area but would like help in sourcing fabrics, seeing what we have in stock, ordering materials or need a curtain making service, we can help.
We offer a FREE home visit service to give advice on window treatments and design, pattern and colour schemes for your home; measurements can also be taken during this visit. Should you have decided on your fabric and curtain design, but do not feel confident to measure up by yourself, we can also come and measure your windows for you.

If I could give this shop no stars I would. Wearing a mask as requested on the door, I entered and asked if I could look at fabric. I was asked if I was local. When I said no I was told not to touch anything as I wouldn't be serious about buying anything. I had seen fabric in the shop I wanted to buy so you lost a sale no earnings this review. Shame on you.

Customer service very poor, similar poor service experiences of others. Completely unfriendly, disinterested, I'm sure there are a good range of fabrics, but just some customer interest, or enquiry as to whether I needed help, would have been nice, but as I didn't want to disturb the nice family social chat, I left.
