The Fabric Counter is a family run business owned by a dad and daughter duo Cayeleen & Kevin with a passion for for both textiles and being creative and have such a great time working together.
Being the daughter of an upholsterer and a seamstress I grew up surrounded by fabric,
constantly watching both of my parents sew while I lined up all their supplies and had zippers at the ready I would spend weekends in fabric shops and warehouses and it had always interested me. I had always been creative but also had huge interest in business and I always know I wanted to set up my own business one day and after struggling to find modern, fun quality fabrics at reasonable prices in Ireland I seen a gap in the market and opened up The Fabric Counter on the 8th of April 2015 and haven't looked back since! It has been a roller coaster of a time getting to where we are today but I love every minute of our journey and I am so proud of everything we have achieved to date.
Kevin is an upholsterer by trade and has been in the textile industry for over 40 years. He is a talented craftsman and always there to work out measurements and offer advice for any interior project. Before The Fabric Counter Kevin had a stall a Merchants Market in East Wall selling all sorts of upholstery fabric and supplies and taught sewing and upholstery classes.
