Oh là là, Textile Tales from Paris is an enchanting series of talks that tell the fascinating story of how luxury textiles and fashion became woven into the fabric of Paris.
Kings & Queens, Fashion & Finance Ministers, Pandora Dolls and Midinettes are just some of the intriguing characters that will feature in these textile tales that travel through time from ancient Chinese dynasties to the glory of Versailles, from the cobbled streets of Montmartre to the extravagance of Haute Couture fashion in Paris during the Belle Époque. Along the way you’ll catch a glimpse of the artisans and merchants who continue this magnificent savoir-faire and craftsmanship, ensuring that Paris remains the capital of luxury textiles and fashion today.
Join me on Sunday evenings for a cosy moment of storytelling, as I spin these wonderful tales, beautifully illustrated and lovingly researched. You can relax with a lovely cup of tea as we travel together to Paris in bygone times.
After each talk, you will receive Woven Wanderings, a beautifully crafted, downloadable PDF guide designed as the perfect companion to Textile Tales from Paris. This curated collection of day trips invites readers to step beyond the page and into the living, breathing world of Parisian textile and fashion history, craft, and culture.
