Shavali is THE fabric shop for cosplay fabrics in Santee. They carry a ton of different spandex fabrics in 4 way and 2 way stretch and colors as well as mattes / shiny variants. They also carry lace, fur fabric, and other fabrics you can use though these others are more traditional. Please be aware they sell by the YARD minimum. This is honestly great for me as I make full body outfits that need 2-3 yards but if you're looking for smaller cuts of fabric, go elsewhere. They are currently having a sale as they are moving locations but do not currently know where they will be moving to. I spoke with an employee who noted that they will post where they will move on their Instagram page, so please check that out. The BEST part of their services is their custom printing. This is an incredible service that I honestly have not seen elsewhere in Santee Alley / Fashion District. You can use a pattern they already have and change the color OR submit your own infinite design (highly recommend photoshopping an infinitely repeating design so that you don't have random photo lines in the fabric) and they will print it onto spandex or other fabrics for you! They currently charge $12 per yard if you are doing under 50 yards but I have seen on their instagram that they will raise prices to $15 per yard under 50 yards in 2025. read more

See all

I have to say, I shopped around a lot before I came across Shavali Fabrics.. but I'm so glad I found them! They have a huge selection of fabrics.. I was looking for table covers for my sons bris. I was going for a Tuscan vibe, floral print! Found exactly what I was looking for. Also, with unbeatable prices.. I believe the owners name was Sherwin. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Great service, they were so nice when I walked in and helped me find what I wanted. They have a great selection and I left with the perfect fabric for my project ! read more

I can't put into words how much I love going to Shavali Fabric!! The service is great and the selection is through the roof. I recently purchased a handful of different prints for 4th of July! The boss is so helpful and creative. Can't wait to go back! read more

I have been going to Shavali fabrics for years. The selection is huge, the quality of the fabrics is superb. I have not had any issues with my purchases. This review is for the printing service. I submitted an art file and the prints came back just a expected. The colors were vibrant, the gradients and transparencies showed better than expected and the turn-around was as promised. Price is very reasonable. I am truly glad to have discovered this store and the team that works there. Great people. Great find. I highly recommend this store to anyone shopping online and in person. read more

Shavali Fabric - Fabric Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Shavali Fabric is the absolute best store in the fashion district for burning man fabrics and festival fabrics. He has the best selection of psychedelic prints, iridescent & holographic colors, and "trippy" fabrics and vinyl. Many of his prints do really cool things when you wear 3D glasses to look at them, and he picks his stock with burners, ravers, and Coachella attending clientele in mind. Shervin the owner is beyond helpful, he's gone out of his way to help me so many times, and I've seen him do the same for many other regular customers as well at no benefit to himself. He truly cares about helping you out with your projects and if he doesn't have what you are looking for, he will happily direct you to another store nearby that does. This sort of customer service is very rare in the fabric district. I'm happy that this store is a little bit out of the way because it is the hidden gem of the whole fashion district in my opinion! I go to the fabric district about once a week during burning man season, and this has been my primary stop 3 years running. Thank you Shervin and Shavali family! read more

Need fabrics? ONCE YOU STOP BY SHAVALI FABRICS, YOU WONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! :-) A friend recommended I go to see Shervin to by fur so I went to check out Shavali Fabrics. Shervin is amazing. Many times I feel pressured in downtown LA by the sellers or I have the need to make a better deal for myself, NOT HERE. Shervin made me and my friend feel like we were regular customers. His knowledge of the product was great, we traded jokes and he even offered us a no-extra money warranty on our purchases. I will only be stopping here for my future fabric needs. read more

My Girlfriend and I happened to walk in and are glad we found this store! She just started her own little hobby and wanted to buy some fabric to practice on. Every other store we went to the employees gave us very limited answers, but when we walked in here the owner (Shervin) was very helpful and made it fun to find what we needed. The prices are really good compared to the other stores we stopped by. We are glad we came here before buying anywhere else. Also check out the black light reacting fabrics. They are really cool. I recommend to stop by here if you are in the area. read more

Javier is the best! Everyone is so helpful and willing to negotiate. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Every time (and I do mean every time) my friends and I go to the fashion district, we make it a point to stop by Shavali Fabric. They have some great printed stretch fabrics. They also have some cool stretch vinyls and faux furs (hey cosplayers...) And their prices are very reasonable. Shervin is awesome. We always enjoy stopping in and having a chat with him. He is extremely helpful and makes sure we find what we need. If you go to the fashion district for fabric, you should stop by here. read more

Shavali Fabric donated to our charity at Hollywood HEART. Shervin is a great individual and we recommend him to anybody that is looking for top notch serviced and high class fabric in downtown. You cannot go wrong with this place. He was extremely nice and did everything he could to help our organization. Thank you so much, Hollywood HEART read more

I'm mega disorganized and I'm pretty sure the last time I wrote a review on yelp was over 5 years ago, but I feel strongly enough about Shavali Fabric to come back to Yelp and give a 5 star review. My first time shopping fabric in the fashion district was two weeks ago, and Shervin was the first salesman that I spoke with. He was enormously helpful and never once pressured me to buy anything (unlike ANY of the other salesmen I talked to), has a great sense of humor and makes sure that your overall shopping experience is a positive one. I ended up coming back multiple times within the week, and found the liner fabric I needed for what I was working on in his store (after scouring every other fabric store on the street). It's so great that I trashed the other liner fabric I had purchased for a different project and reorganized my pattern so that I could use the fabric I bought from Shavali for both. Even if it doesn't look like they have what you need, I'd recommend stopping in and asking. There's a lot more in this store than what you see on first glance! And you never know, you might find something 10x better than what you were looking for in the first place. read more

Shavali Fabrics is definitely one of the most unique stores for Fabric Shopping. Shervin always gives a great experience; even if I just want to go get one thing he has something new and amazing in stock. This store is one of the only stores that has a selection different than what anyone else has. This store has UV/blacklight fabric and 3D fabric as well as a unique "star" activated plastic fabric. I've never seen anything like the fabrics he has to offer. The one thing I can say is that some of the prints are his own designs so NO other store will offer them. I definitely love the quality of the fabrics as well. I've been shopping there for a while now and won't stop. I definitely will always return to the store just to see what's new. read more

Shervin is honestly the absolute best. Will definitely be coming here every time we stop by fabric district. Thank you so much for making my day. read more

I searched the fabric district for 5 hours looking for a perfect, unique, psychedlic fabric to make festival wear and I found it here. While all of the other stores carried the same, boring prints, Shavali Fabric had a selection of special geometric prints on organza and on 4-way stretch fabric that made the perfect outfits. read more
