It is not inexpensive, but fabrics are special, with many imported from Italy. There are beautiful silk, viscose, polyester and wool fabrics, plus a nice style of notions.

I have not even been there yet, but as you can imagine, still speaking English in a country where…read morepeople speak French and Dutch is difficult, and I am doing my best to learn both languages. A little while ago my dress zip broke, and I have been looking for a zip to replace it, as it is quite a unique dress. I called in, rather than going in, to ask if they had a beige-pink zip for a dress, and she was quite helpful in telling me that they did not have any that specific, but they did have beige. Now, when I went to Veritas, they did not have any zips that were the right colour, but for some reason the staff insisted on selling me one of the zips even though it was the wrong colour!!! I asked them if they knew of another sewing or material shop, and they said they were the only known one around. Now that was a blatant lie.

Beautiful cotton patterns perfect for patchwork, silks, Jersey, leatherette etc ... I even spied the same fabrics that are sold in Mansion Decore for a good 4 euros cheaper. The prices are very fair, the minium is 20 CM, just perfect for when I want to buy every fabric for patchwork. There is also a promo section! 3-5 euros per metre, you have my attention! The ladies were helpful and friendly : ) and spoke English a bonus for me with my very bad French. Excellent! Will be back x
