We empower you with experienced designers who can help you turn those fabrics into amazing furniture, window treatments and more. They are knowledgeable and happy to work with you - either in store or in your home. And their services are FREE! At Calico, you’ll find lots of surprising things. And the best part is, you may even surprise yourself.

Calico was founded as a modest store in Bedford Village, NY in 1948. We originally specialized in selling seconds of designer fabrics, which at the time were available only through interior designers. Today, we still offer a beautifully edited selection of things that are hard to find elsewhere - 10,000 first-quality designer fabrics, plus the capability to turn any of them into custom window treatments, furniture and more.
