Textile Travels Paris & London

Textile Travels Paris & London is designed to help you plan your trip in advance and then easily navigate your way to textile treasures when you arrive in these bustling, romantic cities. The guide is 35 pages long and organised into sections; Museums & Galleries, Studios & Boutiques, Fabric Stores & Neighbourhoods, Bookstores & Libraries, Interior Fabrics & Passementerie, Flea Markets, Classes, Events & Guided Tours. It includes a custom-made Google Map with all the wonderful listings pinned and colour-coded, making it easier to visualise the city and the distances between the places you want to visit. With 80 listings to choose from, each one includes a description of the delightful textile treasures, the website, street address and an individual link to Google Maps. Woven through the Parisian guide, there are links to Haptic and Hue podcasts that unravel fascinating stories of textiles, fashion and craftspeople that have made Paris the capital of luxury fashion and textiles for centuries. In the London guide, the podcasts explore the Huguenot weavers of Spitalfields, the cloth tokens of the Foundling Museum, mid-century modern textiles and where the much-loved Tube got its fabrics from.

“I purchased the Textile Travels Paris: A Guide for the Intrepid Traveller when I knew I was coming to Paris. It has made my trip so enjoyable as I can indulge in one of my favourite topics. This downloadable book is organised into areas, so you can plan your textile trip and use your time to the best advantage.From museums to shopping it is exactly what I needed. It has been invaluable, as I had no knowledge of Paris and would not have found some of these places with out its assistance. The one click to google maps and photos has made my plans even easier. Being able to be directed to Podcasts about the different areas has also been an invaluable resource and throughly enjoyable to listen to. I have enjoyed Paris even more, with the use of this guide.”
