draper

A person who sells cloth and textiles, typically in a retail shop.
Danh từ
Số nhiều: drapers

This term evokes a traditional, small-scale retail environment, often associated with 19th and early 20th-century commerce. It carries a connotation of specialized craftsmanship and personalized service, where the seller possesses deep knowledge of fabric weights, weaves, and textures.

In modern English, the word is largely archaic or used in historical contexts, as the role of the specialized cloth merchant has been absorbed by larger department stores and textile boutiques. It describes a specific trade rather than a general clothing retailer.
