Caba's Drapery

Caba's Drapery, Curtains, Coffs Harbour, was established in 1929 and is a family-run business now led by the third and fourth generations. It was founded by Tom Caba, who came to Australia from Syria in the late 1920s. After their father's passing in 1950, Joe and Tony Caba took over the business.

The business specialises in custom-made curtains, blinds and shutters. It offers free measure, quote and in-home advisory services, and its service area includes Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Woolgoolga, Bellingen, Nambucca Heads, Dorrigo and Macksville. Its fabric and wallpaper sample library includes brands Sanderson, The Harlequin Group, Warwick and Wilson. It provides logo embroidery and screen printing services, and bedding products are backed by a satisfaction guarantee. DIY support and advice is offered for curtain, soft furnishing making and track/rod or blind installations.

Caba's Drapery has built a loyal following in Coffs Harbour across decades of trade, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting the depth of product knowledge among the team. Customers describe staff as friendly and exceptionally helpful, naming Jo, Margo and Paul among those who go out of their way to assist, whether sourcing business attire, locating a particular fabric for a tablecloth or advising on curtain and backing choices. Several accounts focus on the finished result: the quality of made-to-measure curtains, including an 's' bend style for a bedroom, and the care taken with track options, pleating and the fall of drapes, with some work completed through a local sewing team.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the willingness to solve problems and honour warranty claims, which one customer frames as the true measure of a business. Reviewers also value the family-run character of the store, the durability of its materials and its long-standing place in the community. Others mention finding uniforms, scrubs and hard-to-source items, with occasional stock shortages resolved by ordering in. That combination of product range, practical advice and after-sales support underpins the reputation the business enjoys locally.
