The Breedstraat Fabric Market in Utrecht (Lapjesmarkt) is the biggest and oldest fabric market in the Netherlands, held every Saturday at the Breedstraat and the Begijnhof. It has a long history: the first linen market was organised here back in 1597, and it’s been running ever since. More than 400 years later, it’s still a go-to spot for anyone looking for fabrics and sewing supplies.
The market runs every Saturday morning, year-round. Dozens of stalls line the street, selling a wide range of textiles and materials, including fabrics in various colours and patterns, as well as ribbons, zippers, buttons, elastic, thread, and other sewing essentials.
