I was searching around for a fabric store in Santo Domingo at which I could buy odds-and-ends fabric to add the finishing touches to our apartment. When I did a Google search, I wasn't very confident of the results because the descriptions seemed vague. Therefore I decided to compile this list of fabric stores in Santo Domingo:
Almacenes El Canal
I was happy to find Almacenes El Canal fabric store on the recommendation of a friend here. It is located on Avenida Luperon, just past Avenida Mejia. It's got a wide selection of fabrics, together with all of the materials you'd need to put a project together. I think it's fair to describe it as more "down-market," the kind of place where rolls of fabric are piled high on tables, the floors are dusty, and there is lots of commotion.
Diamantex
In contrast to Alamacenes El Canal, there is also Diamantex fabrics located on Av. Lope de Vega #18, Ensanche Piantini, Santo Domingo. It's just a stone's throw north of the intersection of Ave. Abraham Lincoln and Lope de Vega, across from the Banco Santa Cruz. Their phone number is (809) 562-2230. This is much more of a boutique, high-end fabric store. There are maybe 100 or so fabric choices total, all arranged neatly on rolls in the showroom. The clientele looks to be mostly interior designers, and the prices are higher than at El Canal. The quality definitely looks to be higher though.
Merceria Dume
This smallish store most closely resembles a Michael's craft store in the U.S. It has a range of craft products, including sewing and fabric supplies. I would say in fact that its sewing section is the most comprehensive I've seen here. The fabric selection is limited, so I wouldn't make this a destination for fabrics. They also have lots of beads, buttons, ribbons, and many other fabric accents. The address is Ave Defillo 21, near the intersection of Defillo and 27 de Febrero (about a block south of 27 de Febrero in the Bella Vista neighborhood).
Thank you!!!! soooooo helpful!!
