VICA remains dedicated to making the official Madras fabric accessible to everyone.

This vibrant Madras, a symbol of Virgin Islands heritage and culture, can now be purchased at the following locations:

  • The Fabric Store and L & C Milliner, St. Thomas
  • Ebbe’s Fabric Store, St. Croix

Furthermore, the official Madras fabric is available for direct purchase from the Virgin Islands Council on the Arts. For more information or to place an order, please contact the office at (340) 774-5984 or email shahnaaz.alameen@dpnr.vi.gov.
