Marcy Tilton Designer Fashion Fabrics
 
 
 
Fashion is at the heart of the upcycling movement, which uses discarded goods, such as fabrics, to create something new of greater value than the original. Upcycling is more than just another fashion trend. It’s a design ethos inspiring a new generation to take up sewing, and we love it!

MARCYTILTON.com is filled with current fabrics originally milled for top designers such as Loro Piana, Fear of God, Ralph Lauren, Trina Turk, Velvet, Ratti, and many more. Thanks to secret sources around the fashion world, we cull through thousands of designer deadstock fabrics to bring you creative curations of our favorite finds.

Discretion is the better part of deadstock. When possible, we love to share the source—fashion house or fashion capital of origin. You’ll find fabrics from designers in Milan, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and more!

So, if you’re a fellow upcycler, and you love working with and wearing fabrics with a bona fide fashion pedigree, this weekend’s UPCYCLE SALE is your chance to add some textile treasures to your stash for future sewing projects.
