Our Online Store

The Fabric Store Online offers a curated range of quality fashion fabrics for the home-sewing community. The Online Store stock differs from what is available in our bricks & mortar stores and overall is a much smaller selection. We also have a selection of Online Only products that are not available in stores. All our fabrics online are sold in increments of 0.25m as shown on the product page. We always cut fabric in one continuous length where possible. At checkout and in transactional emails you may notice the quantities are shown as units which are units of 0.25m (4 units = 1 meter). Bias Binding, elastic & lace trims are sold in units of 1 metre and cut in in one continuous length where possible.

We have a range of Exclusive fabrics milled exclusively for The Fabric Store. The rest of the fabrics we offer online are predominantly sourced as deadstock, meaning they are end-of-line, mill overruns, cancelled orders or designer excess. You can read more about our supply chain here. This means these limited edition fabrics often won't be around for long! Sign up for the product waitlist here.

Shopping for a sewist who doesn't live near a store? Give them the gift of choice with an Online Gift Card!

If you are buying a gift card for someone who lives in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide we advise purchasing a store voucher instead, these are available directly through each store.*

Online Gift Cards are delivered by email to the email address used at checkout and can then be forwarded onto to your friends or family. Gift Cards can be used for all online products and shipping charges. All voucher amounts are issued in NZD.*

*Please note, if redeeming an Online Gift card in store the full amount must be used at time of purchase. If redeeming in an Australian store the value will be AUD, e.g a $25 Gift Card will take $25 AUD off your purchase.

The Fabric Store has four different websites as outlined below —

Local Stores
— wearethefabricstore.com/nz
This is our local New Zealand website and it provides information relating to our four New Zealand stores including weekly in-store fabric deliveries, specials and promotions, and store contact details.
You can also read our brand story, learn more about our approach to sustainability, sourcing and supply chain transparency. You’ll find The Fabric Store blog here too!

— wearethefabricstore.com/au
This is our local Australian website and it provides information relating to our four Australian stores including weekly in-store fabric deliveries, specials and promotions, and store contact details.
You can also read our brand story, learn more about our approach to sustainability, sourcing and supply chain transparency. You’ll find The Fabric Store blog here too!

Online Shopping
— thefabricstoreonline.com
This is our Online Store ecommerce website for NZ & Australian customers (this is the one you are on now!). All orders placed online are processed and dispatched from our New Zealand HQ which has a separate selection of stock to our store locations. All payments on this site are taken in NZD.

— weare.thefabricstoreonline.com
Our International Online Store ecommerce website is for all of our customers shopping outside of New Zealand and Australia. All orders placed online are processed and dispatched from our New Zealand HQ which has a separate selection of stock to our store locations. Payments are offered on this site in USD, GBP, CAD and Euro.

Note —
Both of our Online Store Shopping websites have exactly the same products, priced to clear items and remnants. Orders from both sites are sent from the same place too!
Our international website is simply tailored to our international customers with multi-currency payment options.
If you are based outside of New Zealand or Australia we recommend you switch over to our International site instead.
To do this, simply click ‘Go to International Site’ which is situated in the top right-hand corner navigation next to the checkout link on desktop.
If you are using your mobile, you’ll find ‘Go to International Site’ in the menu.
When you click ‘Go to International Site’, you may see a pop-up. Be sure to click ‘International’ and you'll be taken to weare.thefabricstoreonline.com (if you click AUS & NZ you'll be redirected back).

We offer FREE Shipping on all orders over $300 NZD!* All orders are cut and sent from our New Zealand based HQ with either NZ Post, Aus Post or DHL Express. Typically you'll receive your order within the week, now that's quick! Read more about Shipping here.

You can choose either DHL Express GoGreen+ service, or Aus Post for deliveries to Australia (excluding sample purchases). If you are not at home during delivery, drivers have an ‘authority to leave’. Please also note – if you require delivery to a Parcel Locker or PO BOX, DHL are unable to service these so we advise customers choose Aus Post instead. We strongly recommend instead placing a mail-order through one of the Australian stores as they send their parcels with Express Post and they can be quicker to dispatch.

Orders placed during a sale or promotional period may take up to 14 working days to be processed. If your order is time sensitive please email support@thefabricstoreonline.com and we will do our best to rush it through.

*Free shipping does not apply to wholesale orders.
