BobbinsAndNeedles

Our haberdashery collection is antique and consists mainly of very high-quality laces in remarkable good condition.

Most of our laces were found at an old house owned by a lace manufacturer family (Experton, Frere et Soeur, Retournac, c. 1900). It was exactly 1903 when the brother and sister, Claire and Auguste Experton, founded their first handmade bobbin lace factory in Retournac (France). Nowadays, the Retournac Lace Factory Museum is in the actual building where this factory was born.
