Great Local Art Supply and Fabric Store, and I often get happily lost when I am there, sometimes spending an hour or more just Browsing the thousands of items. Just about anything you need to to be creative can be purchased tbere. The staff may not always be the most knowledgeable but very friendly and happy to help. The prices are a little higher on most items than some of the larger chain stores but worth the little bit of extra cost for the convienince of not having to travel far, the unique neighborhood flare, thousands quality products for just about every craft and hobby as well as fabric and sewing supplies . Rounding out a near perfect shopping experience for me the store is dog friendly as well. If you find yourself in the Haight Mendels is definitely worth a look no matter what your particular creative passion may be.

I have only ever bought fur (Punky Muppet) from this company. Im a costume/furry accessory maker, and i simply love the quality of the fur that they have, despite the high price tag. My only complaint is the ridiculous shipping costs! When I buy a half of a yard of fur (appx $15), Im expected to pay more than the product itself in shipping, even at the cheapest option. However, this is my only complaint! In my experience, theyve shipped my orders the next business day after ordering. Overall, great service, and highly recommended for other fursuit makers. The extra few bucks is worth it for the quality of their Punky Muppet shag!

I found things at Mendels that you wont find any where else. I do think that they should show their art supplies in their website as well as their sewing and tile products. Their art supplies are small section but the things they carry are among the rarest Ive seen. Like a rough grey paper perfect for using white drawings. The web shows mostly their sewing items and not much about other art products such as a gold leaf I needed and they had it. But it could not be found on their website. Great store reasonable prices and I will be back.

I wanted to dye some fabric and had no idea what I was doing, which must have been apparent, when the lady checking me out asked me what I was working on. Turns out I was about to buy dye for silk and feathers (which is not what I was hoping to dye). She then helped me find the dye I was looking for (which was cheaper then the dye I was going to get) and gave me a crash course in dying fabrics.

Okay place to look for general arts & craft supplies. I was looking for more professional art supplies, and I found the selection to be limited. Also, the items on the shelves were rather dusty. The staff members would answer questions, but werent very helpful or friendly.

Great variety packed into a medium sized space, and yet very organized and easy to find what Im looking for. The staff is extra friendly.

One of The Haights best stores. Great selection, knowledgeable staff, life-saver for parents, project-folk, and humanity in general.

Good fur selection and clearly labeled. I see the other fursuit builders comments on here. I know what you do after dark.
