Alessi International LLC

Midtown fabric wholesalers cluster around 39th Street, but Alessi International LLC keeps things lean. Fashion studios and designers rely on dense stock lists delivered on tight schedules. Bolt goods arrive every Tuesday and Thursday—cut lengths and remnants share the same shelves. Upholstery weights sit near trims; everything is boxed, tagged, and ready to load. Orders usually ship within a day if nothing’s on backorder. If you need a last-minute bolt for a runway sample, they’ll pull it after 2 p.m. for same-day pickup.

Head to 214 W 39th St #800, between 7th and 8th. The building’s freight elevator drops you on the mezzanine level, minimizing the walk from sidewalk to counter. A quick call before you arrive confirms whether the day’s shipment aligns with your cut sheet. Swatches, digital weaves, and custom dye lots rotate fast, so walking in without notice can mean a wait.

Find the side door marked #800, ring once, and the line stays open—mention (212) 391-5660 when you dial. The map keeps the route simple: plug in the address and it drops a pin at the freight bay. Convenience hides in plain sight, tucked behind a block of warehouses that never stop moving.
