Our story

Made for the makers of the North Coast

Threads, zips and buttons at Fabric & Habby World

Fabric & Habby World is a family-run fabric and haberdashery store in the heart of KwaDukuza.

We stock the fabrics our community sews with every day — dressmaking cottons and crepes, bridal lace and satin, hard-wearing upholstery fabric, vibrant African prints and decorative laces — alongside a full haberdashery counter and sewing machines from brands sewists trust.

Whether you're a professional dressmaker, an upholsterer, a school sewing a uniform order or someone threading their very first machine, you'll get the same thing at our counter: time, honest advice and the right product for the job.

You can now see the sewing machines we have in stock, with prices, right here on our website — then pop in to try them and take one home.
