Carolyn Fabrics has been a trusted name in upholstery materials since 1932, proudly serving customers from our home base in High Point, North Carolina — the furniture capital of the world. Now in our fourth generation of family ownership, we’ve built our business on one simple principle: take care of the customer, and the rest will follow.

For over ninety years, we’ve supplied professional upholstery shops, manufacturers, builders, and DIY enthusiasts with carefully curated vinyl, leather, outdoor fabrics, and professional-grade supplies. We only source from the most trusted manufacturers in the industry — the same companies supplying OEM materials to major automotive, marine, and healthcare brands. We’re also proud to carry American-made products, including vinyl from Naugahyde and woven plaids manufactured right here in North Carolina.

Today, we’re combining that legacy with modern capability. Our in-house CNC sewing produces precision-stitched panels for seat inserts, door panels, boat interiors, and fully custom designs. Whether you’re replicating an OEM look or creating something completely unique, we make it easy to bring your vision to life.

No matter the size of the project, our focus stays the same: high-quality materials, honest pricing, and real support from people who know the industry.

At Carolyn Fabrics, you’re not dealing with a call center or a corporate chain. You’re working with a family business that stands behind every order — because for us, customer service isn’t a department, it’s the foundation.
