A
utumn is in the air, and
with a change in season usually
comes an instinctive need to refresh
and update your surroundings.
Family-owned Aiden Fabrics has
endless options available to do just
that: a vast selection of indoor and
outdoor fabrics and wall coverings, as well as rugs and
home furnishings.
His family had been in the fabric industry for over 35
years when Ed Flanary opened a
fabric store in Greenville. His son,
Jonathan, worked in the family shop from a young age,
and even paid his way
through college by selling
and delivering fabrics. In
2014, the father-son duo
bought an existing fabric
store in Mount Pleasant
and renamed it after
Jonathan’s young son.
Today, Jonathan manages
the Mount Pleasant
location along with his
wife, Allison, who handles
marketing for the store,
while Ed continues to
manage his shop in
Greenville.
“My parents taught me a lot about the value of hard
work, a good conscience and ethics through working in
this business,” Jonathan said. “That’s how I run Aiden
Fabrics now. People see excellent customer service and are
drawn to it. It’s very important to me, and I can’t wait to
pass the same values and experiences to my son and young
daughter.”
As the name suggests, Aiden Fabrics specializes in
indoor and outdoor fabrics and has more than 2,000
bolts to choose from in-store, in addition to the option of

with custom items, including window treatments, indoor
and outdoor cushions, throw pillows, upholstered beds
and headboards, outdoor porch swing cushions, bolsters,
pillows and even bedding and shower curtains.
If the idea of adding flair through fabric leads you
to dreaming of new furniture, Aiden Fabrics also offers
high-quality lines of designer and custom furniture
from trusted companies such as Hooker, Sam Moore,
TCS and Dexter.
In fact, Aiden Fabrics offers accessories of all kinds –
custom blinds, shades and shutters, lighting, rugs, art and
more. You may go to choose the perfect new fabric, but
you could come home with
a new look for your home
altogether.
“Wall coverings are
experiencing a huge
resurgence right now, and
we carry a wide variety of
options from some of the
best names, like Thibaut
and York,” said Jonathan.
“This isn’t the wall paper
craze that fizzled and died
in the 1980s. People are
covering their walls with
grass cloth, wall fabric and
even leather.”
Grass cloth, he said, is especially popular in the
Charleston area.
As summer fades and the cool breeze blows a new
season in, if you feel that your home or business could
be refreshed with an accent of color, a different feel or a
brand-new look, Aiden Fabrics has you covered.
