I found this website that offers discount designer upholstery fabric. They search worldwide for some of the more unusual fabrics and trims and make them available for you on their website. Their range includes hand embroidered silk from the far east and velvet from Belgium. Some of their range is usually only available to designers so you are sure to find something special. They also have a weekly specials section where you can pick up a bargain at a reduced price. They currently ship within the US at a cost of $3.99 per item. Orders usually arrive within 4 to 7 business days.
