Dear Valued Carole Fabrics® Customer: 

We hope this message finds you well.  We are contacting you with an important update regarding fabric pricing from Carole. 

Despite the continued volatile nature of the current global markets, we at Carole Fabrics have worked diligently with our suppliers to minimize costs and disruptions for your clients by delaying surcharge exposure as long as possible.     

While we have absorbed these market increases to date, import vendors continue to institute surcharges reflecting the current global trade landscape.  As such, beginning July 9, 2025, a temporary 2.75% surcharge will be applied to both fabricated soft products and cut yardage orders to offset a portion of these added costs. 

This surcharge does not apply to hardware which has been addressed in earlier communications.  We are closely monitoring these products and will notify you if additional modifications arise given the recent changes in steel and aluminum trade policies. 

There are a few caveats to note:

• Quotes and orders entered before July 9 will not be affected unless changes are made to the orders after the effective date. 
• The surcharges will appear under the “Misc” section of your invoice. 
• For simplicity, we are implementing a flat percentage surcharge regardless of fabric country of origin.  However, adjustments may be required if changes are made to trade agreements with specific countries.  We will remain transparent in our communication and inform you promptly of any updates.   

Thank you as always for your partnership, and thank you for being a loyal Carole Fabrics customer as we navigate these dynamic times together. 

Warm Regards,
