Products and Services: For over two decades, family-owned and operated Asher Fabric Concepts (AFC) has been offering an impressive selection of knitted fabrics produced in Southern California.

Based in Los Angeles, AFC is committed to becoming the dominant domestic knit supplier for the swim, active, and contemporary markets. In addition to its unequalled selection of knits [and some luxurious wovens] AFC’s eco-friendly textiles include jerseys, French terries, ribs, sweater knits, etc., comprised of organic cotton, organic hemp, bamboo, and other recycled and natural fibers. “Our customers are often surprised at how competitive our pricing is on the Organic and other specialty lines,” declares AFC Sales Vice President Yael Ohana.
