JR日暮里駅南口から延びる日暮里中央通り沿い約1キロメートルに渡って生地織物の店舗が軒を連ねる日暮里繊維街があります。日暮里繊維街では、紳士・婦人服地、子供服、繊維製品、服飾関連の小物や付属品など、生地織物に関するものを豊富に取り扱っていて、ほとんどのものはここで揃うかと思います。外国人の方もたくさん来られていて、結構知られている場所なんだなと思いました。

日暮里駅南口から歩いて行くことができます。種類豊富な生地をとても安く買えます。激安な洋服や雑貨のお店もありました。かわいいカフェもありましたが飲食店は少なめです。日曜日を定休日としているお店もあるので、平日や土曜日に行くのがおすすめ！

都内で布を買うなら絶対ここ！各種様々なお店が多様な布、関連製品を扱っています。ドレスに使うような布から、可愛い柄のガーゼまで幅広いです。普通の布屋では見ないようなものがあります。海外から輸入しているお店では、海外の布もあり、店ごとに特徴があります。革専門店、ボタン専門店、小物専門店…etc インバウンド需要か、一時期和柄の布を求める外国人をたくさん見かけましたが、今は普通に布を買いに来ている外国人も増えてきました。店先に珍しいものが並んでいたりするので、歩くだけでも楽しいです。
