I actually didn't buy anything because fabric in Europe is very expensive, but at this particular store is beyond that. I was able to look around and touch some of these amazing fabrics that I don't feel worthy to work with LOL. I guess the owners or shop attendants know who is there to look and who is there to shop because no one ever came to asked me if I needed any help. I was told not to take pictures when I pulled out of my phone. Or maybe they just expect people to walk up to them and tell them what they want. I am not sure but in every other fabric stores I went to in Europe, I was always asked if I needed help. Anyways this is an amazing place, if you are looking for very fine fabrics, this is it, look no further!
