A haberdasher is a shopkeeper who sells haberdashery: the small things you need for sewing and dressing — buttons, thread, ribbons, zips, needles. The word is old-fashioned and mainly British. You are more likely to meet it in a story, or on the sign of an old shop, than in a shopping mall. In American English a haberdasher used to mean a man who sold men’s hats, ties, and clothes, which is a different shop altogether — though actually that American use has almost died out too. Today most people just say “the sewing shop.” The person is the haberdasher; the goods, or the shop, are haberdashery.
