I called the shop for advice on threads and they kindly sent me a spool to test it out on my machine. Subsequently I made a full order. Thanks!

Has just about everything and they can order you things in too if they don’t have them. Very good service.

I love this place. They have pretty much everything I need from a haberdashery. It's a small shop so you might think you won't find everything but the staff are all really helpful, and you can always order online for collection if you need a better browse.

We have worked with William Gee for years and they have always been fantastic. Always been friendly, helpful and delivered on time. The rare time there has been any issues they have been in contact straight way. Their consistency over the pass couple of years in particular has allowed us to stay open and taking orders with confidence we can get the zips and hardware we need.

The store is closed as you can see the note in my second picture about it. … but their window is really impressive even behind the bars. … and their website is a real something. I am sure you want to see it, if you are looking for products related to sewing.

Some real bargains to be found in this gem of a haberdashery, will definitely be going back.

Nathan Jones

Not quite a one stop shop and often more expensive than more trade only suppliers, but an excellent range, great website, quick turn around and of course a lovely team in-store.The best mix of a trade and retail trimmings shop in the capital

So happy I found this place. Very friendly and efficient staffs and great deals. Found lots of things I couldn't find on Amazon. I just ordered online and picked them up from the shop.

I’ve been a customer with William Gee for many years and they always provide excellent service, but the POT LUCK ZIPS exceeded my expectations! There are about 50 zips in each of my bags… (only opened 2 so far)… but there are metal zips, standard zips, open-ended zips and even a few concealed zips!!!! And so many different colours! Thank you so much. Ann 😊✂️🧵🪡🧵✂️

Excellent customer service. I asked a question and had an immediate reply. Registered and placed an order which arrived the following day, exactly as described and great quality. Highly recommend.

Loved buying the wonderful range of items from Gee's, unfortunately they are no longer worth buying from as they now use a courier to Northern Ireland who's charges double the cost of goods. Post office would be preferable for us in NI

High speed service, fast email response and very good range of stock. The mixed pack of Winter Colour threads is very good value. Black and white included at my request, thank you. My only reservation was a pale pink and pale green in Winter colours.

I discovered William Gee's over 40 years ago, when I was a fashion student. I've been using them ever since, for all my various businesses and side hustles - fashion, soft furnishings & upholstery, bags & accessories. I feel privileged & fortunate to live within a short walk of this old established gem. Old & iconic they may be but always bang up to date with their their merchandise!

They've got a good setup for order pickup during lockdown restrictions, and are very fast at processing pick-up orders. They've got a good range of professional-quality supplies and always seem to have what I need!

Adam was very helpful when I accidentally made the wrong order, it was quickly fixed and delivered by the next day! Perfect service. Thank you William Gee!

William Gee was the only place I could find that would supply thread on-line. They also have a good range of other haberdashery items, and stocked elastic when most other outlets had run out. When one item (a marking pencil) was faulty, I emailed in to let them know and within a couple of hours had a reply and the replacement was delivered the following day. This was mid-lockdown when all haberdashers are very busy and much quicker than other outlets. They are now the first place I’ll look to order any haberdashery.

I made the online order from Italy. The shipment was very fast and all purchased items were in perfect state. Is a well stocked haberdashery. Thanks a lot.

Made my first purchase for my business, Cathrin Brodie Ltd. Excellent and speedy service, great range of products and competitive prices.

I was searching for a difficult to find product, Adam from William Gee was incredibly helpful and not only pointed me to the item in stock but also changed the minimum order so it was more appropriate to my needs, thank you that was really excellent! Once ordered the product arrived promptly and as advertised.

Got this bias maker at William Gee London. Lovely little place if you fancy quick items for any sewing or craft project. They sell threads, zippers, lining, interfaces and some quirky unusual sewing supplies. Feel free to pop in there if your a crafts person. Also I must add that they have good customer service. I forgot my bag of groceries there and when I went back to get it they had put it in the fridge. How nice and thoughtful.

Excellent service - William Gee supplied thread for curtain making that I had struggled to find elsewhere and for a fraction of the price of the few suppliers I had managed to find elsewhere. Delivery was fast and reasonably priced. Would recommend and will be shopping there again. Thank you.

I placed an order for some haberdashery items. They arrived well packed and secure so there was no damage; and, earlier than I expected to receive them. Good quality products, will definitely be ordering again. Thank you very much!

Thewilsonsdidwhat

08:25 02 Aug 18

Placed an order online to collect, was ready quickly and they called to tell me so. Through browsing online store it is probably the best stocked haberdashery in the uk, stocking harder to find and a lot of items for designers. Will definatly be using again.

Quick and easy to order and arrived quickly. The only thing I would say wasn't great was that I didn't receive an email to say my order had been dispatched and when it would be arriving. I got a text on the day of delivery to say it would be delivered in a few hours (whilst I was away from home) and the text came from a number I couldn't reply to - luckily a neighbour took my package in. Otherwise - great stock, fast delivery and exactly what I ordred

Joan Clark

09:57 25 Jan 18

Excellent. I made a silly mistake when ordering. Phoned immediately and it was all sorted straightaway. Couldn’t have wished for better service. Thank you.

I visited WilliamGee store today. I am a new starter in sewing, so I had just a paper with a list of unknown words to me. Effie, the sales assistant, was very helpful, indeed. She explained to me what I needed for and replied friendly to my queries. So, I easily found all I needed and I am happy! I will definitely recommend this place.

Zoe Goodwin

Incredible sewing and craft shop, reminds me of long established sewing shops in Manchester growing up in the 80s. It's not a massive shop but they have everything you could ever want at very competitive prices. I also love their bargain bundles and bags.Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too. I have done both click and collect online and bought from the shop in person, both great experiences but if you're easily tempted I advise the former option.
