There too many stores like that in NYC. Just go to the garment district and you will see laces everywhere.

Laces:
International House of Lace...Their prices are ridiculous though, but nice for browsing for color and fabric ideas.

Ankara:
Vlisco has lots of stuff on their sites. They are good quality fabrics but a bit on the pricy side when you factor in taxes and duties. They will send you a fabric swatch card in the mail for free.
