WWDMagic Coverage: Sourcing Fabrics & Fashion

Guest Post By Nicole M. Giordano

I love finding new fabric suppliers.  The raw materials that go into creating fashion is where my interest (and heart) really lies. The first booth I saw the minute that I walked in Sourcing at MAGIC was the Pacific Coast Knitting.  Why? Because it was full of soft, drapey, colorful, and textured knit fabrics!

Upon speaking with the owner of the company, I learned that Pacific Coast Knits is based in California; however, the textiles are created abroad.  I was also pleased to learn that the company does custom knitting and dyeing.

The Pacific Coast Knits website is basic, serving as a business card.  You can contact the company via phone, fax or email to learn more about the cashmere, silk, burnout, organic & bamboo blends, sheers and other materials they have to offer.
