About Us
FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, CYNTHIA EAST FABRICS HAS MADE LITTLE ROCK A LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL FABRICS. INSPIRED DESIGN. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. SINCE 1977.
IT ALL STARTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL
It all began in 1977, when Cynthia East left a career in advertising to turn her love of fabric and design into a business "at the bottom of the hill." Terry Dilday joined her in 1981, and together they built Cynthia East Fabrics on a shared eye for beautiful things and a commitment to making every customer feel at home.

STILL INSPIRED BY THE GOOD STUFF...
Today, Cynthia East Fabrics is a Little Rock destination for distinctive fabrics, wallpaper, furniture, custom upholstery, drapery, and the finishing touches that make a room feel complete. From selecting the perfect pattern to pulling together an entire space, the Cynthia East team pairs decades of design expertise with the personal, friendly service that has defined CEF from the very beginning.
