Carol Fabrics

Best fabric store in Miami! They have the best prices and an incredible variety of fabrics. I’ve been going for 5 years and I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they are with all their customers. The owner, Jason, is a funny guy with a great personality. I’ve seen people walk in with attitude and he treated them with even more respect and kindness. That is a true gentlemen right there! If you need any fabric go to Carols !!!

Amazing and attentive customer service! Best selection I’ve ever seen and prices can’t be beat !

This is where I ended up finding fabric to make my wedding dress. The staff, Leroy and Gilda, were very, very helpful and friendly. It was an intimate setting, I got good advice, and they made me feel comfortable. This is a little place with loads of fabric. I Imagine it might be hard to browse, but since the staff are so helpful that is OK. They can made suggestions and lead you to what you need. Although I would up buying simple white peau de soie, they have some really cool and special stuff in there — so there’s a good variet. I would highly recommend this shop.

I love this place! I came in with a picture of a dress I wanted and was helped right away. Jay was so helpful showing us so many different fabrics that would work great with my dress. Gilda gave us her expert knowledge in finalizing which fabric to narrow down for my baby shower dress. Can’t wait to see the finished product. I will definitely be back they got a new customer for life.

The customer service in this store is terrible and yes I’m speaking about the bald guy with the glasses. He is demeaning and rude. I went with my mom to look for wedding dress lace and every store let us just look at them/​pull the stack out then ask questions. We get to this store and we start looking like in all the other stores. I saw one lace that looked interesting and pulled it out and showed my mom. The guy who was near me sounded nervous and told me that they don’t like it when the fabrics get pulled out by non-​staff members. Perfectly fine if that’s their policy so I apologized and tried to put it back and he said to just leave it on the table and someone would help me. In comes the bald guy with glasses. First he tells me in a very rude manner that checking out lace on our own is against policy. Then he continues by comparing what I did to looking into a random lady’s bag without permission. I was incredibly angry and was trying to calm myself from the how he had just scolded me like I was his child. I told him again that I didn’t know but I had already been informed. He admitted he was snappy but only because someone stole from them before. Is that my problem? I understand their policy. I have no problems with it but how dare he talk to me in that manner?! A little courtesy goes a long way! Feel free to enforce any policy but make sure the delivery is not rude!
It took a lot of energy to not walk out and the only reason I didn’t was because my mom wanted to see the lace. This place is very disorganized and looks old. The owner seemed nice but he should probably hire people that have customer service skills. I continued to hear this guy talk to others and lets just say he isn’t a pleasure. STAY AWAY.

I have being living in Miami for 5 years and I’m about to graduate from Art Institute in downtown Miami, and i can finally say that my search for fabric excellence and honeat deals is OVER!

I recently went shopping for fabrics in downtown Miami and was extremely pleased with the selection of fabrics and service at this store. It looks like a dive from outside but when you enter there is an amazing selection. It’s best to speak to the owner as well (I assume the lady is the owner) because she was very helpful in locating what I wanted. The quality of the fabrics cannot be underscored as well as the service. Not all the fabrics were on display but she had samples that you could look at. I made a selection based on a sample and her son retrieved it from the back or upstairs. I was looking for a knit and while there are a zillion different types of knits, she was able to help me find exactly what I wanted with a little description.
She also has a promotion rack with 2 – 3 yards of good selections and amazing prices — make sure to check it out if you go.
It is hard to find a good fabric store COMBINED WITH good service in Miami but I will keep returning to this one for sure!!!

I stopped in at Carol Fabrics recently while shopping for fabric for my wedding dress. The whole reason we stopped in there at all was because my mom was reminiscing on how it was her route home from school when she was little and she had known the owner quite well a few years ago.
1. First things first: It smelled as if, surely, at least 1 rat died in there. The only question was… what rack of fabric was this rat buried under?
2. The main guy who was helping us at first was nice and attentive but went on and on about how their prices and inventory was so much better than the place we just bought fabric from and about how they were renovating to make space for all their inventory. It wouldn’t have annoyed me as much if he had just mentioned this once. But he bragged about it over and over again to us and to people around us.
3. The kicker: My mom asked about her old-​time friend. Low and behold, she was standing just a few feet away. My mom approached her and the lady was so rude. First acted like she had no recollection of her. Then she took over helping us look at materials and when my mom asked her for a price of a fabric the lady responded very rudely. Something along the lines of «I don’t play games. If its $ 200 then its $ 200. People like to play games. You want me to play games with you? ok. It’s $ 500 but i’ll give it to you for $ 200.» My mom just replied, «I’m not asking you for a discount. I am just asking the price.»
We left without mentioning anything about their lack of customer service but I wish I would have. At least I can tell everyone else on Unilocal

Just what I needed in my life! :) I was so happy to find exactly what I had in mind for my projects. Having a particular eye for forecasted trends in fabric, I had just bought fabric at another downtown Miami fabric store, but found an even better one that I just couldn’t turn down at Carols! I was helped and received excellent genuine attention from not just one, but all three of the employees that were present that day. Being from Miami and a fashion student, I’ve seen them all and when it comes to best service and fabric quality and variety… I’d say go to Carols. Definitely.

The owners of this shop are some of the rudest I’ve ever encountered. They trash talk the neighboring fabric stores and accuse them of jacking up their prices, yet they are the ones who do not clearly price their fabrics and want to negotiate on the price. They have a sign that says «prices are subject to change according to the customers attitude» all joking aside, we translated their Spanish to each other instructing their staff to quote us high and give us a big discount so make us think they were giving us a deal. We found some fabrics there we liked, but chose to take our business next door, where we spent over $ 2,500 as we do every year. If I could give this shop negative stars I would. The bald guy and his mom are rude, crooked and out of order.

This Place is Horrible! They may have beautiful fabrics, but make sure not to piss off the owner because prices will go up!!! They even have a sign hanging up behind the register that reads «Prices are subject to change according to customers attitude». Wether this was meant as a joke or not? This is how they treated my group. The baldy with the glasses was just the rudest!!! We took our business next door!!! Make sure to look at the picture I posted with the sign!!! Just rediculous!!! Never again!!! I wish I could give this place negative stars!!!

Amazing selection of fabrics and trims… the service was the best!!! They are all so friendly and knowledgeable and eager to help you. As a designer I appreciated the personal attention and the abilty of the staff to know exactly what my needs were and able to find exactly what I came for. I highly recommend going to this fabric store especially for the prices and the selection!!! Its my new favorite!!!

This store has the best selection in linens as well as suiting and shirting fabrics. The materials are exquisite, the prices and great and they could not be more helpful and courteous.
I am a small business owner in the fashion industry, I have being to every store in downtown and this is simply worth taking the trip there.

The place might be small but they have a decent selection of materials (apparel fabrics primarily). They also had precut pieces on sale in the middle of the store. The woman we dealt with (Gilda) was the sweetest woman I dealt with out of all the fabric stores in the area. They have a hilariously awesome «store policy» … «prices are subject to change based on customer attitude» because let’s not kid ourselves, people can be jerks. This place is definitely a little hidden treasure worth taking a look at.
