What our customers say
"Given the nature of our business, we often need things rushed, and Pine Crest is always accommodating—helping us get what we need quickly and offering cost-saving options when available. We would absolutely recommend Pine Crest Fabrics to any company!"
Jackie Link-Griffin, Imagination Creations, Inc.
"I have been working with PCF for about 5 years now on swim and active apparel. I love that they stock fabrics in Portland, but can also develop what you are looking for. Their process for handling development and shipments is very seamless. It is nice to have one less thing like logistics to worry about when developing product. They work with a network of superior mills and you know you will always get quality. I would recommend them to any brands starting out as they can guide you on fabrics selection that meets your MOQ and price."
Kat Eyanson, Rhayne Swim
"At Coquetry Clothing, we have been using Pine Crest Fabrics as our main fabric supplier for more than 15 years. We have found that the quality of their fabrics and prints are consistently better than our other suppliers. Furthermore, the level of customer service we receive has been exceptional. As an online retailer of "made to order" clothing, our supply needs are driven by individual customer orders, which can vary greatly in style. I would encourage anyone looking for a fabric resource to partner with Pine Crest Fabrics."
