Haberdasheries are small textiles and other small supplies that come in handy when sewing.

The haberdashery includes things such as ribbons, tape, bias tape, yarn, patches and the like, but also zippers, buttons, etc. People also spoke of tape and yarn.

Sewing equipment such as pins and needles, pincushion, seam rippers, thimbles and other small items such as tape measure and tailor's chalk is also considered haberdashery.

Traditionally, haberdashery was part of the peddler's inventory. Nowadays one can buy them at the sewing machine shop or at specialized textile shops.

The small necessities in a shoe store, such as shoe care, laces, soles, polish and the like are also summarized under "shoe haberdashery".
