HMS International Fabrics Corporation

Most fabric stores in the city cater to home sewers or boutique designers, but HMS International Fabrics Corporation operates on a different scale. This wholesaler supplies rolls of textiles to manufacturers, costume houses, and large-scale projects—think theater backdrops, hotel drapes, or fashion collections. The difference isn’t just in volume; it’s in the kind of inventory that moves through 6 W 48th St, 8th floor, right in the thick of Midtown’s garment district. While retail shops display bolts for individual buyers, here the focus is on bulk, on materials that need to hold up under production demands.

Midtown’s fabric trade has always been about access—proximity to designers, sample rooms, and the factories that turn ideas into garments. HMS International Fabrics fits neatly into that ecosystem, offering a direct line to the kinds of textiles that don’t always make it to the public eye. If you’re sourcing for a project that requires more than a few yards, a call to (212) 581-9750 can open up options that smaller shops simply can’t stock. For directions or to confirm availability, the map pins them right above the street-level hustle, where the real work of the industry happens behind unassuming doors.
