About 1969 or '70, back when Lily first closed up shop, some of the fabric appeared in a North Carolina thrift store that regularly got shipments of tony stuff from NYC. Then it popped up here and there in a few fabric stores (back then every town had a fabric store, even small ones).
When Lily reappeared this century, I did a little googling and found out a lot of that fabric had been smuggled out of the factory by the employees! Back then most fabric was produced in North Carolina.
