Well, I don't know if they are still there (we moved east 15 years ago) but there used to be a couple of silk warehouses in the LA garment district. Some of the local folks can probably say for sure. Twenty years ago I bought some really excellent Chinese silk for a really excellent price. I couldn't tell you the per yard now, but I spent only $50 total and still have some left. I think it averaged out to about $1.50/yd.
I know I managed to get two wedding gowns, some happy coats and a bunch of pillows from the remnants. I hope it is still there. One day I will get back out there to visit my in-laws in Laguna Niguel and take a side trip to LA. --- Hope Greenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi - > > I'm going to be on the west coast (U.S.) next week > and am determined to > visit at least one fabric store!
