Olga’s Fabric Lane first opened its doors in 1976 and has been a great destination for high-end fabrics ever since. The store is now run by Olga’s daughter, Ingrid Hodges.
Ingrid joined the business in 1979 and says the overarching focus behind the business remains the same: great customer service. “The biggest thing to understand is that without your clients, you have no business,” she says.
It’s a very one-on-one approach in Ingrid's store. Clients come in with an idea in their head and the staff at Olga’s Fabric Lane work with each client to find the perfect fabric to create a vision of beauty and elegance. “The biggest thing is listening to your customers,” Ingrid says. “That’s how I find out what they want and what they want to see.”

Olga's Fabric Lane is my new favourite fabric store. The customer service is top notch, and you can't beat the personalized attention. I'm new to sewing and I feel extremely comfortable shopping here and asking a million questions. I'm always given good advice and recommendations. It's easy to get to on Bow Trail, and there is lots of parking out front.
