Calico

Thus far I have been having a great experience purchasing my first custom drapes for my new home. I worked mostly with Laura but when she wasn’t available I worked with Ada. Lastly, I was able to complete my order with the store manager Keisha she was very attentive and wrapped everything up for me. I am patiently awaiting my install and so excited to add the finishing touches for my room.

Went there this weekend looking for fabric to cover some cushions. The gentleman working was extremely rude and condescending. He emphasized they were an interior design shop, and that everything must be ordered. The gentleman in the back of the store measuring fabric was very helpful and pleasant, but all we saw in the front was this man who felt it was more important for everyone to know about his 12 years of experience and he didn't have time to work with someone who was looking for fabric to "do the job myself". We went in to "Patricks" around the corner, and was told not to ever order anything from Calico corners because all their fabric was seconds and poor quality. I say this because I would have been fine with seconds, but was lead to believe this was the highest quality merchandise and that I didn't belong in this type of store. We spent over an hour in the store and no one ever approached us or offered to help us; thus we didn't know as we were looking at the bolsters of fabric that we wouldn't be able to buy a few yards while we were there until we approached the rude "sales clerk". Very dissapointing compared to the wonderful customer service and pleasantness we experienced in all the other stores in Old Town Alexandria

Chose Calico for reupholstery they did a fantastic job. Very pleased with the result! Fabric selection runs from basic to lux, and pricing clearly presented. Pieces delivered on schedule. Sales staff was very knowledgable. Store can be overly busy on the weekend so plan accordingly.

I had slip covers made this summer. I have had slip covers made many times by others with great success, but this subcontractor to Calico Corners did a terrible job. My friends say I should not have accepted it - but I sent it back three times and they said there was not anymore they could do. Everyone comments on how awful it looks.

Great selection of fabrics and even better customer service

Loved my time @ Calico Corners in Old Town today! Thanks for your help, Kathy!

Excellent fabric selections and design services.
