On this page I will try to list fabric stores in main Italian cities. Perhaps you could buy some Italian fabric as souvenir of your trip.
Italy is the country of fashion fabric. Generally you won’t find much quilting cotton as in the US or in the UK, but you will have plenty of wool, shirting cotton, suitings and more.
I also have a specific page dedicated to online stores in Europe
In questa pagina troverete una lista di negozi di tessuti nelle principali città italiane e dei negozi di stoffa online.
Store opening hours
Stores in Italy generally open at 9.30 or 10 a.m and close at 7 or 7.30 p.m.
They generally close at lunch time between 12 and 3.30 pm . It is only in the city center that stores don´t break for lunch and generally it wouldn´t apply to fabric stores.
Some stores may be closed on Monday mornings or Saturdays afternoons.
Stores may be closed during the summer around August 15th (it´s a holiday in Italy)
The above is indicative as hours may vary from town to town.
Se cercate solo negozi che vendono online date un’occhiata alla mia lista di Negozi di stoffa online in Europa

Hi Silvia!!
How are you doing? I am amazed with your in depth knowledge of fabric stores!! If not much trouble will you be able to help me with stores who keep 100% pure linen weaved in Italy which can be used for making baby stuffs and best if they can deliver to Switzerland even if not then also will need lead so that when I visit in October I can collect. Appreciate any help.
Kind Regards
Tanya

Hi Tanya, thanks for reading my blog and for your kind words. You can try new tess (you need to register for pricing), lafab tessuti or possibly Allutex online. I’m not sure if what they sell is weaved in Italy but you can email them and ask. They normally could deliver to Switzerland.

Hi Kia, you can find some at lafab tessuti under their category ‘spettacolo’ as Lycra bi-stretch. Email them in English if unsure about your choice. Otherwise try rijkstextil, their website is in several languages and they ship to Italy. The links are on my blog page. Hope this helps

Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for your site! Can you recommend a store to purchase cross stitch – I think it’s called ‘punto croce’ here? I’m in Bettolle so close to Arezzo, Siena and Montepulciano. Grazie mille!

Hi! I must admit I am not into cross stitch but you can generally find supplies in a ‘merceria’ I found https://m.facebook.com/ILBottoneArezzo/ and https://m.facebook.com/Merceria-Ago-e-Filo-Arezzo-508347009251167/ but I am sure there are more in other towns. The other option is online stores like casa cecina or https://www.lamercerissima.it/punto-croce

I wolud like to sew nice clothes to mysellf. I would like to have fabrics ect. with good quality but not extremely high prices. What would you like to suggest? The shops can also be a littele bit outside Milan and Bologna.

Hi Marianne, in Milan you could go to Emmepi tessuti and Tessuti e scampoli (here also good for notions and other supplies). In Bologna try Mercatino dello scampolo or get in touch with supercut.it There’s also Giesse Scampoli with several locations in Italy. Details are on this blog page. I hope you will enjoy your trip and find great fabric. I’d be happy to hear how it goes! Silvia

Thank you so much for reply 🙏🏼, I am looking for fabric in EU because of customs. I need silk for pillowcase so if you have more recommendations I would be happy to hear them. In Croatia we have very poor options for silk in fabric stores, most of stores have only chiffon and I’m looking for ‘raso di seta’ (i think that is silk satin)

Lafab sells also raso di seta. If you need help you can write them in English. Good luck with your pillowcase! That’s a project I would like to make too 😉

Hi Karlien, it sounds like an amazing cruise. My go-to place in Barcelona is Ribes y Casals near plaza urquinaona. Check out their sales section downstairs. There’s also another store right opposite. I am afraid I don’t know any stores in the other cities you’ll visit. Search for tessuti or stoffe and city name…you will likely find something. If you wish to share your finds I will be happy to add them. Have fun
