The Crisscross Legacy: Elevating the Art of Design
Welcome to Criss Cross Fabrics—a premier online store built specifically for fashion creators, sewing enthusiasts, interior designers, and visionaries who require exceptional fabrics.
We operate on a foundational belief: the caliber of your finished creation is intimately tied to the integrity of your raw materials.
Criss Cross Fabrics meticulously selects fashion-forward apparel, bridal, boutique lingerie, event drapery, luxury upholstery, and heirloom-grade quilting fabrics and offers them directly to you.
We do not view ourselves merely as order-fulfillment agents. Instead, we act as caretakers of textile heritage, aligning our business with your creative ambition to bring spectacular projects to life.
The Exclusive Online Partner of Klauber Brothers
The ultimate distinction of the Criss Cross Fabrics catalog is our groundbreaking, exclusive alliance. We serve proudly as the exclusive online partner of Klauber Brothers.
Since its inception in 1859, the Klauber Brothers name has represented the gold standard of lace artistry. As a legendary, fourth-generation family mill, they have spent over a century and a half preserving intricate weaving methods that mass-market factories simply cannot replicate. Their archives are celebrated globally for generating lace with remarkable structural definition, crisp borders, and exquisite tactile depth. From delicate Chantilly and heavy Guipure trims, to modern stretch laces and romantic scalloped edges, Klauber Brothers remains the premier choice for elite international bridal houses, lingerie and haute couture designers.
In the past, accessing genuine Klauber lace required major commercial minimums and industrial representation...
Our partnership changes the landscape completely.
When you source Klauber Bros through Criss Cross Fabrics, you are receiving genuine, uncompromising lace straight from the historic mill's lineage. We have mapped their legendary output into an accessible digital format, allowing you to buy their authentic fabrics by the yard. Whether you are engineering a custom wedding gown, detailing a premium lingerie capsule, or constructing an avant-garde runway silhouette, you are working directly with authentic textile history.
A Visionary Palette: Apparel, Fine Lingerie, and Couture Components
Beyond our signature lace, our clothing fabric category is intentionally curated to address the precise demands of garment architecture. We know that fashion designers look beyond color—they look for fluid movement, tactile response, stretch recovery, and weight.
Premium Print Collections: We cultivate an extensive and ever-evolving catalog of striking patterns for modern garment construction. Our selection seamlessly bridges the gap between emerging runway ethics—including immediate seasonal color transformations—and enduring, traditional aesthetics. Each design is meticulously applied to top-tier, internationally sourced base materials, engineered specifically to ensure deep color retention, and exceptional quality.
Couture Silks & Satins: Luxurious, high-density weaves that offer a flawless surface luster for bridal linings, evening gowns, and biases.
Authentic European Linen: Sourced directly for their crisp hand-feel, structural breathability, and natural luster, available in rich monochromatic tones and tailored linear stripes.
Bespoke Lingerie Foundations: An array of ultra-resilient power nets, delicate stretch meshes, and foundational elastics designed to structurally complement our Klauber Brothers lace assortments.
Natural Fibers: Our vast print collection is found on many natural fibers including rayon challis, modal, tencel, cotton and wool.
Spatial Transformation: Event and Home Interior Fabrics
Creative expression inevitably extends into the spaces we build and the milestones we gather to celebrate. Criss Cross Fabrics offers a breathtaking suite of home decor and event-fabrics designed to transform raw environments into high-end visual statements.
For home and venue designers, textile choices dictate the entire atmosphere of a room. Whether you are staging a luxury matrimonial backdrop, sewing custom floor-to-length window treatments, or reviving a mid-century furniture frame, our home and venue collections offer the tensile strength and aesthetic sophistication required for professional-grade staging.
Our home materials are selected for longevity as much as beauty. From plush velvets, 100% European linen and rich brocades to high-density utility ducks, we provide the foundations for unforgettable settings.
Honoring Heritage: Precision Quilting Fabrics
At Criss Cross Fabrics, we respect quilting as a complex fine art and profound historical tradition. Because a quilt represents countless hours of geometry, piecing, and care, the base materials must be entirely flawless.
To protect the massive time investment of quilt makers, we proudly supply 100% premium-grade quilting cottons from top-tier design houses, including an extensive selection from Michael Miller Fabrics.
Our quilting library features:
High-Density Solids: Providing an expansive color wheel with tight thread counts for laser-sharp cutting and seamless seam integration.
Dimensional Textures: Crafted to add visual depth, shadow play, and subtle movement to both modern layout concepts and timeless block patterns.
Illustrative Novelty Prints: Curated specifically for their graphic sharpness, narrative charm, and artistic individuality.
Available by the yard for detailed patch designs or by the full bolt for expansive borders and backings, our quilting materials ensure your creations retain their shape and vivid color across generations.
Multifunctional Michael Miller Cottons: Beyond their celebrated status in the quilting world, these premium 100% cotton prints serve as an exceptionally versatile canvas for a wide array of creative disciplines. The superior weave and clarity of vibrant print make them a favorite choice for constructing lightweight fashion apparel, breathable custom bedding, and crisp window curtains. Additionally, because their thematic collections offer such rich narrative depth, designers frequently use these high-grade cottons to craft immersive, coordinated backdrops and custom linens for high-end themed events.
Versatile Purchasing Options: From Home Sewing, Boutique Studios to Scaled Production Lines
We recognize that creative businesses operate across vastly different scales. To support both independent designers crafting individual commissions and commercial enterprises managing high-volume client demands, we provide two distinct, highly flexible purchasing tracks:
Fabric by the Yard: Ideal for bespoke dressmakers, home sewers, crafters, and initial sample production. Most of our online products can be purchased in precise yardage increments without arbitrary order minimums.
Fabric by the Roll & Wholesale Tiers: For professionals seeking bulk value and continuity across large projects. We maintain a specialized inventory available in full commercial bolts at dedicated trade pricing. This wholesale framework is strategically structured to enhance profit margins and ensure supply consistency for:
Event Decorators & Stylists: Acquire extensive yardage of backdrops, structural runners, and venue draping materials while protecting your project overhead.
Custom Upholsterers & Workrooms: Secure highly durable, statement-making home decor fabrics by the roll to supply your clients with dependable luxury.
Etsy Shop Operators & Artisans: Stabilize your production costs and protect your margins with a reliable wholesale stream of unique prints and base cloths.
Cottage Industry Apparel Brands: Scale your small-batch fashion runs utilizing consistent dye lots and premium structural performance tailored for independent garment manufacturing.
The Criss Cross Guarantee
In an era defined by anonymous supply chains and low-tier synthetic production, Criss Cross Fabrics stands as a deliberate sanctuary for intentional, high-caliber design.
Our promise to our community rests on three pillars:
1. Verifiable Origin: As the exclusive digital storefront for historic mills like Klauber Brothers, we certify the absolute authenticity of our specialty catalog.
2. Rigorous Curation: We reject standard marketplace filler. If a textile lacks optimal hand-feel, durability, or structural integrity, it is excluded from our store.
3. Maker-Centric Support: Whether you are a commercial factory head coordinating a major manufacturing cycle or an artisan selecting a delicate edge trim, our staff provides technical material analysis and seamless customer care.
We are deeply grateful to play a role in your creative output. Thank you for making Criss Cross Fabrics a trusted partner in your studios, businesses, and homes. Let us continue to build beautiful things together.
