Prints & Pattern
Designer Prints
Florals, geometrics and statement prints — dressmaking weights and home-decor cottons, rotated as new ranges land.
West Hastings · Downtown Vancouver
The bolt wall on West Hastings — designer fabric since 1995.
Atex Designer Fabrics has been a designer-fabric retailer and wholesaler on West Hastings since 1995 — bolts of suiting, drapery, prints and bridal silks, sold by the metre to home sewists and by the roll to the trade.
By the metre & by the bolt
What lines the walls
Three decades of buying means deep, varied stock. These are the corners of the shop regulars come back for — photos are stock placeholders we'd swap for Atex's own bolts before launch.
Suiting & Wovens
Suiting & Coating
Wool suitings, tweeds, melton and quilted coatings for tailoring, outerwear and made-to-measure projects.
Drapery & Soft Furnishing
Drapery & Linens
Sheers, linens and upholstery-weight cloth for curtains, cushions and the trade — cut to order at the counter.
Detail matters
A shop built on the hand of the cloth
Designer fabric is a tactile business. The weight, the drape, the way a weave catches the light — none of it reads on a screen. Atex keeps the kind of depth and variety you can only judge with the bolt unrolled across the counter and held up to the window.

Retail & Wholesale
By the metre, or by the roll
Home sewists, designers, drapers and costume departments all shop the same wall — retail by the metre, wholesale by the bolt. Bring your project; the counter will cut what you need.
For makers
Retail by the Metre
Cut to order with matching thread, zips, interfacing and trims — everything to finish the project under one roof.
For the trade
Wholesale by the Bolt
Designers, drapers and production buyers — ask about full-bolt and roll pricing and stock continuity on core ranges.
Finishing
Silks & Specialty
Fine silks, linings and statement weaves for bridal, formalwear and the details that make a garment feel finished.
