Regal Fabrics, based just north of Boston, is a leading producer of fabrics for some of the country’s largest furniture manufacturers, major fabrics distributors and more. Emphasizing top quality in product, service, and delivery, Regal has a full design studio creating original, copyright protected designs in a wide range of durable fabric constructions. Our customers look to us for trending designs, colors and collections, as well as a large assortment of beautiful plain fabrics in a full range of colors, textures, and performance finishing at great prices.
Since Herb and Arlene Kahan started the company in 1987, Regal has remained true to the founding values of quality and service. Expanding well beyond an initial reputation as “The Tapestry Source”, we offer distinctively styled textiles with both residential and commercial applications, and supply customers from many industries all over the world. Major new collections from Regal’s design team are introduced to customers twice a year during Showtime at our beautiful showroom in High Point, NC.
Today, Regal is dedicated to continued distinction in fabric design, construction and quality, and excellence in communication and service. We strive to put our customers’ needs first, surpass expectations, and to turn each relationship into a lasting partnership. To accommodate continuing growth, in 2019 Regal moved into its new 90,000+ sq ft home, to set a foundation for delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction in years to come.
Regal Fabrics Inc. is founded by Herb and Arlene Kahan in a 5,000 square foot unit in a new Danvers, MA industrial park. Though Arlene sadly passed in 2017 after 30 years in the business and 60+ years of marriage, Herb continues to serve as CEO today.
Using mill contacts he’d made in a 30+ year career in the industry, Herb begins to import and sell Italian tapestries, with a focus on fast delivery of the latest European styles to the American market.
