They may be mouthy persian guys overzealously complimenting everything about you just to sell you fabric. They may tell you that Kim Kardashian has worn a dress made of every fabric you lay eyes on at their store. But take it from a downtown fabric veteran. These guys have the best stuff around. Whatever you need, they'll have. Really luxurious beautiful detailed fabrics. Just be very very stubborn and bargain as much as you can. Start with half of what they offer. read more

I just went to buy a very expensive French pattern and the owner asked me to pay first and I have him 450 in cash and he suppose to charge 40 on my card, total 480 dollars. When his worker came with the stuff they were discussing the price because they gave one price to the person who send me to buy the stuff and at the store he gave me another price. What I asked for a real price the owner gave me my cash back and said he can spend 450 in a dinner night by himself in a very rude way, the problem is when I look at the cash I was missing 50 dollars, he he resisted just saying it was what I gave to him. Very awkward situation because he denied I gave him 450 in cash when he asked me for that before give me the pattern, so he gave me back just 400 and he pretended to give me a discount and kept those 400 for the buy. Kind nasty. read more

Abraham and his team were the best to work with! They were so patient and helpful. They pulled out several options for us to look at and helped us find exactly what we were looking for.

We mistakenly left some of our purchase behind and Abraham personally delivered it to out hotel and left us some waters for our room.

We made a day trip up to Los Angeles to purchase some hard to find, peau de soie (a heavy silk double faced satin) fabric in the mango color we needed for our upcoming summer wedding. My bridesmaids are wearing mango colored dresses that were ordered on one of the gazillion wedding websites out there, but my soon to be mother-in-law wanted to sew them matching purses. Super thoughtful and cute of her to want to do that, right?! Anyway, I've been on the search for this peau de soie fabric at all the local stores all over San Diego, but our fabric stores suck, so that's how I learned of Valentine Textiles thanks to a friend that found this exact fabric in the color I needed and thought it was worth a day trip to the Southland. It's crazy how some bridal sites charge as much as $50 to $65 for ONE YARD of this beautiful fabric. I told my fiance I was willing to pay no more than $25/yard if Valentine Textiles had the color we needed. Fortunately, the store owner telling me it was $12 a yard and he'll throw in free lining was music to my ears. It would have been nice if he opened his shop on time, we got there five minutes before their scheduled opening time, but he didn't open up until nearly an hour later. He's definitely a character though, he has regulars that came in with their list and he will swoon you with his words to keep you and him happy. Apparently his help was in the hospital because his wife was having a baby and he was a one man show to run the shop. He also told those in the shop that he himself was in the hospital a few days before because of chest pains. Yes, I learned all this as I patiently waited for him to help us and I was secretly praying that he wasn't going to have more chest pains while we were there, lol! He didn't utter sweetheart or flirt like he was with the gals that showed up by themselves, probably because my fiance was with me, lol. However, he will certainly acknowledge every customer that walks in his shop by greeting you and asking what you need help with as he tried to multitask to the nth degree. Anyway, since he lagged on opening up, we had time to wander to the dozens of neighboring textile stores lined up on Maple Avenue. None had the peau de soie fabric in mango that we needed, so we were glad Valentine Textiles had it and at the right price point. This shop is in a tight space, but the fabric options they have available are simply beautiful and the store layout is a lot prettier on the eyes compared to the other shops we checked out before going into this one. If I were to get a custom made dress done, I'd definitely purchase my fabric from this store since I know I'd find something I'd like. Definitely worth my time and effort in making a day trip from San Diego to Los Angeles, I'm just happy it's one more thing off my super long wedding planning to do list.! On a side note: cash is king. Have it readily available here and at any of the stores you buy from in the garment district since you might get a better discount by paying with paper than plastic. At least the parking meters lined along this store front accepts cards, that was super helpful. read more

Valentine Textiles - Fabric Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Honestly they have good fabrics but I'm giving it a one stars because of the owner way of doing business. The owner has a scammer mentality and try to sell you fabric with lies and over price everything by saying it from some famous designers. I told him I'm looking for some silk organza he brings me a roll of silk organza and tell me that it's from Oscar de la Renta but I know that's a lie because Oscar de la Renta is a couture house and I don't think they would sell their fabrics to anybody. I don't remember the exact price he was trying to sell it to me initially but I just remember thinking like that's way too high and I told them I would pay $15. We are arguing back and forth about the price and I tell him I could probably find it at Mood for the price I'm looking for. In his own words he says "mood are vampires, they'll rip you off" at this point he's try to sell me the fabric for $25 a yard I'm telling him that's too high he ask me how many "yards you need" I tell him "2, I'm making a shirt" he cuts 3 yards and tell me just to be safe. We are still taking numbers and he starts swearing on his life and swearing to God and tell me "if you find it cheap at Mood I'll give you your money back" and I thought that meant I would be entitled to a refund if I did find the silk organza cheaper at mood. So I go to mood and find the exact same silk organza with the same gold salvage with the same 54 inch wide I take a picture of it I come back and I showed him the role was $12 a yard and the owner charged me $25 so he charge me double so I went back to get half my money back and I remind him about the conversation we had earlier and he just tells me to "get out" and try to scare me by saying he's going to call the police, he call they don't come and he call the local police on bikes. At this point I'm telling him "wow so you're not even denying that you lied to me and you're not even trying to compromise with me you just want me to go to jail but you're the wrong one" he would always change the subject and just say everything is finally sale I'm telling the owner "so your word mean nothing everything you say is bullshit and stop swearing to God" he tries to convince me that the roll of fabric I was looking from Mood was a silk polyester blend but it clearly wasn't, and I should him the discretion tag. The police bike guy come and at this point he starts trying to compromise with me by giving me a yard of fabric he want to give me some crappy gold silk and I tell him no I want the same Black silk organza that I took earlier and he lies in front of everybody and "says he sold the whole roll" and then I tell him "it's right behind you" and then he just has no choice but to give it to me. I'm not the type of person to write these reviews but the owner just insulted my intelligence many times, told The fattest lies multiple times and was just being so manipulative that I had to write this. It's kind of my fault because I'm a very religious person and when someone's swears to God I tend to believe what someone is saying but he did say he would give me a refund. The owner is such an bad person calling the police when I've done nothing wrong the whole time I was only using my work, I could be just as mean and call the IRS and let them know he's not reporting his income probably by putting cash sales in his pockets and get him audited, which is a financial nightmare but I'm not going to do that. So in conclusion the owner will start off high trying to get as much money off of you for a single yard of fabric he'll lie to say it's from some famous designer and you can check other yelp reviews they also say the same thing and he'll swear on his life and to God he'll say anything just say it to buy the fabric he'll be pushy and his word means nothing. If you decide to buy from this place come in with a price you've found online make sure it's super specific fiber content, country of origin, with, and weight. Also bring a lighter and asked for a Swatch and learn how to do a burn test on fabric. read more

They were awesome they wore mask and they were very professional .. I definitely will recommend this business . They have very nice fabrics and it's affordable. I will be coming back. I didn't have to look no further. read more

I am really thankful i found this place. George and Abraham were very helpful finding me the right textile for my set designs. The materials here are of high quality and they work with famous fashion designers as well. Im going to come back for my business in the future. read more

Excellent customer service! Highly recommend them for beautiful jeweled mesh fabrics. Great for film shoots and styling.

My heart goes out to Mr. Michael the owner and his worker George. They are both amazing. They have a big heart, are humble and angels. They donated the material that Ilieen needed for school. I went to another store and had my daughter get off and they took advantage of her by selling her the wrong material and overcharged her with no remorse at all. read more

I don't usually write a review for stores at which you can bargain at, but I had the funniest experience here. The owner is hilarious. The minute my friend and I walked in he kept commenting on how beautiful we are, asking us where we were from. He kept asking me if I was from Vietnam, where I live, and commenting "such a natural beauty you are" over and over. We walked into this store because the textiles here are quite detailed and unique compared to other vendors on this street. It's a clean store with wood floors, and it's not crammed so you don't get frustrated when measuring out fabric. They had unique laces and fabric was was detailed and ornate enough to double as sari formal wear. We were able to bargain with the owner which was a plus, as I don't like to buy from people who are not flexible. My friend settled on a ruffled chiffon fabric, and the owner went as far as to say that the fabric was 100% silk from India. I told him he must be joking and I realized he might have been referring to the silk lining that is included free with the fabric. Someone else walked in and I heard him tell that customer that the bolt of cloth they were looking at was 100% hand embroidered from Italy. I thought that was crazy too, as it was already a beautiful fabric and he didn't have to say that. Overall we came out with what we wanted. Bargaining is all fun and games so just play along with it. Bring cash. read more

Love the customer service! I recommend anyone who is looking fir fabric to shop here.

Was looking for fabric to recover a vanity stool and the 2 guys working here were very kind and helpful! They seemed to have a great selection and they are eager to help! read more

This place is a scam. They sold me fabrics that were apparently polyester as organic silk and a regular silk. Don't trust these people!!!

George was very helpful and Michael super accommodating. Both knowledgeable on their fabrics and they even bought me a drink while I shopped. If you are looking for good quality fabric at a decent price this is the place for you. read more

Be careful with the owner! We did find a beautiful lace for my daughter's wedding dress at $65 a yard which included the under fabric and lining. When he went to cut the fabric, it was all over the floor and he handled it like a mess throwing it into a trash bag. We did get the 7 yards of the cheaper fabric, but, he pulled a trick and only cut 6 yards of the expensive lace. He knew what he was doing, he made it look like he had cut 7 yards but, knew it was only 6! He is a fast talking con artist! When he went to total up the cost, he also tried to rip us off by charging double for the tax! My daughter asked him how he calculated the tax and he quickly did the math on the calculator... again, he knew exactly what he was doing. She stopped him and calculated it the right way which was $50 cheaper than what he was doing. SO BEWARE OF THE OWNER, CHECK THE MEASUREMENTS AND HIS MATH WHEN HE IS CALCULATING THE TAX. HE IS QUICK TALKING AND WILL CHEAT YOU IF HE CAN!!!! We were suspicious of him and took his card to make sure he didn't double charge my Credit Card, which he didn't... he had already ripped me off without me knowing for the shortage of lace, until I went to make the dress ! read more

I went here with my mom and right as we walk in, the owner tries to compliment me and ask about my life story in front of my mom. It's funny cause my mom has been here before and buys from here but hates coming here because of him LOL I know he's trying to sweet talk the customer, but honestly it just made me really uncomfortable since he kept bothering me the whole time I was there. Anyways, there was another guy working with him who helped us cut the fabric who wasn't nosy, which I appreciated. I think there's more selection in here than other stores but yeah, I would bargain the price because it is a little steep. read more

this place has the best fabrics in LA. Beaded & sequin designs are very detailed & for great prices.

Great customer service! Micheal always go the extra mile to make sure I have the correct fabric that I desire. Very reasonable prices! And great quality fabric! read more

Fabulous products, but they quote you DOUBLE what the product is worth and I am wary of their claims about how they are made or their origins, (Himalayan Monks spend spare time hand-beading, etc.) I frankly don't care and it doesn't impress me. I care for quality product at a good value. Keep that in mind when entering. Owner always acts so busy. I visit the fabric district about 6-8 times a year for many years. Every single solitary time I enter this particular store, the owner is yelling at "George" on his cellphone. Me, my family, my friends are actually amused by the theatrics with him and "George". We believe the owner has completely fabricated "George" because if I was George, I would have quit years ago. If you thrive on BS and can get by the theatrics with the owner and George on the other end of the cellphone, you might get some distracted attention and actually do some business. Be sure to NOT let them overcharge you and bring a calculator to ensure you are not being taken to the cleaners. Be watchful of the measuring process. Don't get distracted by anything else except YOUR purchase. My last purchase I was quoted $40 per yard and bought something better down the street for $12 per yard. Do your homework with these guys. read more

Great selection of quality fabrics and fantastic comedic duo provided by Abraham and George! Definitely negotiate prices as they start very high. They have some of the more quality fabrics in the area. Got my wedding dress fabric from here after visiting most places around. Pro tip: ask about the Armani read more

They have fabulous and unique designs and super friendly owner.

Walked pass this store today and seen some fabulous fabric but the owner was rude as fuck!!!! I inquired about a particular fabric and he went on to tell me the price which I said.. naw I'm a beginner at sewing so,I'm just asking about the price... the owner went on to tell me as he kept talking" IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT , YOU JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT"! I'm like really that's not good customer service and how could you say something like that to people!! WTF!!! He better be glad I'm coming a new for 2018 because I would have went to the left on his FAT SLOPPY ASS!!!! Then he wanted to keep apologizing and tried to give me a bottle of water!!! I walked out and didn't buy nothing!!! The customers are the reason these people are in business so they need to act accordingly!!! I wouldn't spend a dime in that place!!! Oh yea! Then he stated I have good reviews on yelp... lmao! Not today!!! #1sttimecustomer #shameonhim #neveragain read more

this place is a scam, i went in to get 3.5 meters of material and the owner said that is 6 yards , he is a liar when i called him to ask him how many yards in 3.5 meters he said i have to google it , and watch out be aware he changes his prices after he cuts the material and than he says no returns. chages double or triple after than the prices he gives you stay away from this scamer read more

I went here looking for a champagne colored charmeuse to use as an underlining for a sequin dress I am making. This was probably the 6th store I went in looking for the right color match. The two young men working that day were very friendly and helpful, they immediately pulled out all of their color options so I could pick the best one for my needs. I'm very happy with the fabric I ended up with, it is of great quality. read more

After scouring the area for fabric all day, I found myself in Valentine Textiles. The owner, albeit aggressive, was charming & laid it on thick --overtly complementing every part of my being (you're so beautiful, stylish, organized, etc.). I knew instantly this guy was just trying to make sale, so I managed to shoot down all of the ridiculously expensive fabric he kept shoving my way. But...he does know his fabric! He knows the content, drape, and style of every piece of fabric they carry, so I stuck around & took a look. The selection is good, far better quality than a ton of surrounding stores, but it is expensive. I got a few great cuts, but when I came back home & went to hang them, I noticed they had LARGE swatches cut out of them. It sucks to pay premium prices when there are decently-sized chunks missing from what you paid for. I'd still go here for their wonderful selection, but I would definitely watch them cut and make sure I got what I paid for. read more
