Rathdowne Fabrics & Remnants

Rathdowne Fabrics & Remnants Rathdowne fabrics is a fabric retail shop and the exclusive supplier to Project Runway Australia. We

In the early 70’s Morre Sunshine opened a retail fabric shop as part of his wholesale business H. Sunshine & Sons in the factory on Rathdowne Street Carlton – the innovative store was called Rathdowne Remnants. With a huge variety of fabrics purchased from all over Australia, there was no shortage of bolts and bargains to be found at this unique factory outlet. Growing out of the premises in Carlt

on, the businesses moved a few times with the shop now located at at 154-158 Victoria Street, Brunswick (near corner of Lygon St). It is still owned and run by the Sunshine family and these days trades as Rathdowne Fabrics. The excellent service from experienced staff have kept loyal customers from all over Victoria and beyond coming back year after year searching for all types of fabrics and at incredible prices. From After 5, bridal, cottons, denims, dress fabrics, fake furs, furnishing fabrics and accessories, haberdashery, knits, silks, wovens, woolens, patterns and of course the famous remnant bins, there is always something for the blogger, home sewer, fashion student, costume designer, home decorator, or DIY enthusiast!

We just love this -loyal customer of 20 years Annemarie just came in with the most incredible jacket that she made out this surplus Australian made dead stock oilskin fabric purchased from a local manufacturer. It’s only took 2 metres and similar jackets can be found online for over $600 !! Not only has she saved hundreds of dollars but she is also today’s in-house model (that is shy and doesn’t want her face shown !) Can’t wait to see what you make next…
Anyone else want to feature their DIY project please come on in and see our friendly staff
