So I was in vacation in Austin and being a seamstress I was curious to see what Austin has that I haven’t seen. Of course I was late and it was a last minute decision but I had to look up Unilocal for some textile shops. I’m so glad I found this shop. He has a lot of fabrics that I have not seen anywhere. I also had to purchase some lace he had. He also showed me some of his designs and I was astonished at how creative he is. Definitely gave me ideas to work on my own project. The fur section is soooo good too.

This store is incredible!!! It is full of gorgeous fabric that will inspire you to create beauty. Plus it is all at reasonable prices. I will drive from Dallas for their selection of silk.

Benson knows his product! As an extreme novice stitcher he guided me with a DIY fur rug — even directing me to an outside online retailer for a specific fur. I went with something they had but this showed me that He is truly interested in your project and a customer for life!

I was so disappointed. I walked in, was the only person in the store, and wasn’t even acknowledged. After a few minutes I asked a question; only for the staff member to give me a short answer and get back to whatever he was doing on the computer.(Still the only person in the store) I waited a few more minutes because clearly I needed help, but he never offered. So, I left. Two stars bc the fabric was decent.

I have waited far to long to make this review! Not only do they have an extensive selection of fabrics and trims you can’t find anywhere else in Austin but the employees are extremely kind and helpful! They have an extensive knowlege of their products and are always willing to help you find exactly what it is that you are looking for. Visiting here is always a pleasure!

TexStyles is a designer’s dream. Not only is there a plethora of outstanding, one of a kind, jaw dropping fabric; the service is impeccable. I walked in and felt as if the red carpet had been rolled out before me. I was treated as if I were no different than Isaac Mazrahi. If you are an amateur or an pro this store is the place to go. You will feel at home, at ease, and you will leave with a deal you can find nowhere else in Austin. Absolutely flawless!

This is a small store in a run down strip with an amazing selection of fabric, fantastic owners, and great prices. Their knits in particular are worth the trip, but they also have a lot of high end apparel fabric of different types, and lots of trims. I’ve been here twice, and I just need to pace myself before coming back, because it’s very tempting.

Super friendly staff; I want to hug them. I’m a UT textiles and apparel design student, and Mark, the guy who helped me, was familiar with the program at my school and the professors, so he was super helpful. The fabrics there are so cute and are of good quality and there is a wide variety to choose from. Love this place!

Moved here a year ago & was desperately searching for a fabric source. Put up FB posts, sent out Tweets, scoured the internet… until a fellow designer friend mentioned I HADTO check out this new place. She was on-point; I really just HAD to. Haven’t purchased fabric in Austin outside of this place since. They have lots of randoms hidden in between the staples(silks, wools, knits), but these aren’t your walk-right-by«randoms» –these are along the lines of, «I need this now». And the trims… my God, the trims!!! If you don’t see exactly what you want, they will find it for you. Good, good stuff.

This is my «Go To» place when I need to be inspired! I have always had the ability to design in my mind, but struggled with getting a finished product, TexStyles has now given me the tools to see my dreams of design come to fruition. Benson and Mark have helped me on so many levels, from selling me machines, giving me instructions, coming to me in times of sewing crisis, to now helping me manufacture. I can’t wait to see what the future holds! Having TexStyles as my fashion partner means the possibilities are endless.

Having been tortured for years with mediocre fabric from big box retail stores, I am so excited to be shopping and buying from a local business! This is a serious fashion fabric store. I stopped by and was just flabbergasted by the beautiful fabric. I had to touch everything! Beautiful knits, gorgeous weaves, trim, buttons. I swear, one knit looked just like a Missoni print. I was sure that I wasn’t going to be able to afford the stuff(it is that sumptuous), but the prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely worth the trip.

Not at all intimidating and very helpful. I’m mainly a crafter, and don’t do fashion sewing. I’m actually not very good at sewing at all. I wandered into the store on a day I hit 90% of the fabric stores in Austin. They didn’t have what I needed, but they took the time to talk with me, offer advice and encouragement, and tell me about their personal shopping service. I have been making a list of fabrics to get through the personal shopping service. They have a ton of knowledge, but they are incredibly friendly and helpful to everyone. Their service is top notch and I sometimes feel like I’m making excuses to there.

A fabric store that welcomes shoppers, friendly and knows their stuff, and has GREAT fabric, trims, lace, and buttons. A truly AWEsome resource for the creative sewer, designer, crafter, whatever. I plan to visit weekly, even if I don’t «need» anything. Small store, packed with yummy silks, woolens, synthetics; bone pewter and brass buttons; cotton laces as well as sequined medallions. Yowsa!

Oh my! What little gem of a fabric store! Such pretty fabrics, and the knits are to die for! The staff was wonderful. Prices are fantastic too! I think this is one of those shops that once you visit a few times they will know you by name and know what you are looking for and will have stuff pegged specifically for you! This will be added to the must go to list on future Austin trips.

Great, knowledgeable, and helpful owners. The store is packed full with a fantastic selection of fashion and apparel fabrics. They have an especially good selection of knits. My only critique in retrospect is it’d be helpful if they had a posted reference indicating the prices for the color-coded tags.

As a point of full disclosure– I do not know much about fabric and trim– but the good people at TexStyles made me feel really welcome and I walked out learning a great deal. I was in town for a work conference and was in a total bind when my boss asked me to get 40 yards of velvet in in matching colors, along with the appropriate trim. I stopped over at this place and they did a great job assisting me(even though I clearly did not know what exactly my boss was asking me for!) In the end– my boss liked the fabric and if in Texas again I will definitely return.

When I first saw the selection of designer fabric in at TexStyles I was truly surprised. This est. is A typical of Austin’s fabric stores. The quality is above and beyond what other stores are offering and very reasonable prices. Upon arriving you may find one owner counseling young designers, giving them pointers and positive encouragement while the other helps with clientele. I appreciated how helpful they were and how they offered to special order specific fabrics for me. I will be back! I had a great experience.

TexStyles is a new small fabric store that I happened to pass by. The specialize in apparel fabric. While the Common Thread has more apparel cotton shirtings, TexStyles has a large selection of knits. I would say their best selection is in their knits. It is a small shop with a small selection of trims and buttons. The owner was very friendly and passionate. It is hard to find decent knits in Austin, so I would say this shop is a score!
