Designer cottons come from many sources. We get beautiful cottons from the American and European designer market that are end cuts. We can't mention names, but you know the list. Many of our designer cottons come from the domestic fabric market. Those are the names we can tell you about. They include Michael Miller, Alexander Henry, Kaffe Fassett, Martha Nagley, Carla Miller and more. Some of our designer cottons are liscensed names like William Morris, or Dick and Jane. We love to carry designer cottons from oriental manufacturers. These designer cottons have a distinctive look as they are created by designers in the orient.
