Luna Textiles

Fabric shops anchor the creative pulse of Manhattan’s garment district. Luna Textiles keeps that tradition alive at 200 Lexington Avenue, where bolts of silk, linen, and wool line the shelves in quiet order. The store sits just east of Grand Central, a block where tailors and designers have traded materials for generations.

Rolls of imported cotton share space with specialty synthetics, while remnant bins offer remnants at a discount. Shoppers can find everything from upholstery-weight canvas to delicate lace trims, all measured out on long wooden counters. The selection reflects the neighborhood’s legacy of both couture and costume work, making it a practical stop for theater groups as well as home sewers.
