Dubai where to buy ribbon lace etc

[craftymarie]

Hi. We will be in Dubai in April on celebrity constellation. I would like to buy  ribbon, lace and miniature paper flowers.  Can anyone tell me the best places to buy,  ie haberdashery stores?

I am looking for rolls of ribbon not lengths.i have tried internet search but not getting much options. My friend was there several years ago and came across a street full of these stores but can't remember details.

Thanks in advance.  Marie

Marie,

 

Unfortunately handicrafts are not my forte in life, and as I’m sure you will appreciate development moves at a rapid rate in Dubai.  However, the two streets that spring to mind would be either Satwa main street that used to house many tailors, upholsterers and shops selling bits and bobs or Al Fahidi Street which was better known as textile street.  The latter is the larger of the two and is in what is now known as the Heritage area of Dubai beside the Creek in Bur Dubai quite close to Dubai Museum and not far from the cruise terminal....
