Four generation with a knowledge they are willing to share with... More

This was my favourite silk shop on Arab Street. The family who run it have all done courses and know everything there is to know about every fabric under the sun! They'll give you a reasonable price if you ask them what their "best price" is. The array of colours and types of silk is AMAZING. I took all my... More

They have the biggest range of colours in Arab Street, plus I just used their online service without any issues. The silk was beautifully wrapped and mailed to my Australian address.... More

Arrived here after seeing previous reviews on the internet. I make curtains for a living so was interested to see the quality and variety on offer.

The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and in an area where there is very little in cost difference from shop to shop the Mahaco staff made all the difference. In fact we went back on our last day in Singapore to make more purchases. Great shop and great people. Well worth a visit for silks, fabrics, pashmina and more. More
