| Headquartered
in New York City for over 90 years, we have developed textile
products with a dual emphasis on creativity and high quality. The
company has been family owned and operated since the six founding
Marcus brothers formed it in 1911. It was their desire to provide
quality, distinctive and well-crafted fabrics. Their attention to
detail continues today, as Marcus products can now be found in
quilt and fabric shops worldwide. Marcus Brothers has enjoyed a
well-earned reputation in the industry by maintaining its creative
goals and high standards of quality and service. In Fall 2007, the
company name of Marcus Brothers became Marcus Fabrics, reflecting
the company's evolution as a leading source for both trendy and
traditional fabrics.
Our state-of-the-art design studios continuously create
distinctive collections that mirror the diversity and
technological advancements in the ever-changing world of fabric
design. Marcus' own studio designs are offered alongside
collections by award-winning design leaders like Judie Rothermel,
who celebrates 20 years in the industry in 2007.
Marcus Fabrics is especially proud and excited about its recent
collaborations with museums, to not only bring beautiful
reproduction fabrics to the discerning quilter, but to also
support the work of these museums in the area of quilt and textile
preservation. By providing promotional avenues as well as
financial support for such organizations as Old Sturbridge
Village, the Rocky Mountain Museum and New England Quilt Museum,
Marcus Fabrics furthers its mission to preserve the traditions of
quilting over the centuries.
For decades, Marcus fabrics have remained the fabrics of choice
for the creative consumer. In an environment where every theme,
pattern, texture and color becomes a creative statement,
enthusiasts choose Marcus fabrics as the centerpiece of their
crafts, quilts, wearable art, apparel and home decor.
"Nothing is more rewarding and creative as sewing and
quilting," says company president Martin Marcus. "These
works are a unique part of American tradition. It is thrilling to
see quilts, pieced years ago from Marcus fabrics, being passed
down from generation to generation. It is a source of pride for
the Marcus family to be a part of the family histories of so many
loyal quilting and crafting friends." |
