Although there is uncertainty about the precise name (we'll keep to Boeken, The fabric & haberdashery shop) there is no misunderstanding about the merchandise. Three shops are filled from floor
to ceiling, with rolls and bales of fabric. Amongst these are an assortment of cupboards and
shelves filled with buttons, lace, zips, tape, ruffs, cord and feathers. The collection of
artificial leather and latex is probably the most extensive in Europe and in any case the
most colourful.
This also applies to the long- and short haired artificial furs in plain and every possible
animalprint. Really, anything to do with glitter, extravagance and style in fashion is available
here, including accessories. Looking for a simple cotton fabric we've got it. Our customers
vary greatly. Dutch and foreign stylist, couteriers and students from mostfashion, theatre
- and art colleges come here, but also fancy dress goers and those who wear formal dress.
