Discount Fabrics USA
Fancy schmancy fabric showrooms are pretty protective about their overstock and discontinued items. Scalamandre for one has a big annual sale but I'm not sure it's open to the public. For the layperson sites like Discount Fabrics USA offer a ton of "designer" fabrics from collections (seemingly decades) past and while many are fugly with a capital "F" some have major throwback appeal, like this nautical Rigging Trellis from Brunschwig & Fils, 67% off the list price at $23.81/yard:
And this charming Picnic Plaid by Pashma Picasso (Paloma's sister?) for $14.49:
And finally this begging-to-be-revived 80s stripe in black, fuschia, gold and teal from Ralph Lauren, 73% off at $16.81/yard:
Can't you see it on a sofa in a library with cranberry lacquered walls and a gold Savonnerie rug? So very Bonfire of the Vanities.
