What Makes It Awesome

Ramachandrapuram is a heaven for many as far as fabrics and textiles are concerned. From soft linen and cottons to the more synthetic georgette and even felt, you can wear new merch daily after shopping here. Plus, thread, laces and zippers if you are into DIY. There are fabrics sold in kilos starting at INR 300 & INR 400 to shops which sell them by the metre, where the width can fit a queen size bed. You can get cute prints to make clothes for your little one and thick fabric for upholstering your sofa cushions. If you are creative enough, you can even make your own saree or a party dress. That doesn’t mean readymade clothes are not available here. There are shops where you can get some branded clothes for a steal.

Not just fabric for yourself, you can get home linen too along with towels and mats in kilos, cushion covers, table mats, and more. If you can’t afford pure linen, there is always linen with cotton mix making it much more accessible. You won’t find the latest trends but it’s seasonal so if you are looking for that felt fabric, try the winter months. Some shops you must visit are Raghav Fashions for their selection of fabrics, including Kalamkari and jute cottons. Sri Balaji Textiles is your other option for upholstery, bedsheet fabric in metres, in linen and cotton mix.

Pro-Tip

If you are a stitching newbie or trying a new tailor, you can buy fabric that is sold in kilos and end up spending sometimes less than INR 40 a meter. The fabric here works for everyone. Seamstress, quilter, bag maker, fashion designer or just a fabric lover, there is something for everyone here.
