About JB Silks

Startup

Janice, the founder and owner of JB Silks, grew up in the fabric industry working with her mother and uncle, who each had over 35 years of experience in the retail and wholesale fabric business.

Janice and her mother often discussed the gap in the marketplace and the need for high-quality silk fabric to be made available to everyone. This led Janice to start importing beautiful high-quality silk fabric - referred to as “Janice’s Beautiful Silks” - which gave rise to the company name “JB Silks” in 1986.

Launching

JB Silks began operations in 1986 in a small loft at the back of Janice’s mother’s retail fabric store. JB Silks quickly outgrew this original space and moved into a warehouse/office space in the garment district of downtown Vancouver, Canada, where Janice continued to develop the JB Silks line. Realizing that JB Silks had outgrown this space as well, the company moved to a warehouse in Surrey in June 1999. As the company continued to grow, it became necessary to move to the United States.

Operations

JB Silks is now located exclusively in Washington State, USA, where we maintain an extensive inventory on our warehouse shelves ready for immediate shipping in the USA and Canada. We offer an incredible selection of beautiful, high-quality fine silk fabric available in many patterns and colors. Some of our silk fabrics include satin, washable silks, embroidered silks, raw silks, printed silks, stretch silks, silk brocades, novelty silks, and many more.

Value

With JB Silks’ many years of experience, our expertise and knowledge can help you make the very best silk fabric selection for your application. We even offer custom dyeing of our solid color silk fabrics for larger volume wholesale customers to obtain the exact color they desire, making their project truly an original creation.

At JB Silks, we believe that superior results will only be achieved with superior fabric such as silk. Throughout history and today, silk fabric remains in a league of its own - traditionally worn by royalty, nobility, and anyone fortunate enough to be blessed with impeccable taste.

We believe our customers deserve the highest quality fabric, as well as superior service. It is this belief that has resulted in many of our customers saying, “If you are looking for high-quality silk fabrics, be sure to contact JB Silks.”
