«Joyce opened a unique modern haberdasher’s. Its USP? A carefully chosen selection of accessories for sewing, knitting, embroidering, crocheting, and much more. The store may be small but it has a huge range of colours and materials. I often give in and end up buying knitting accessories or a pretty offcut of fabric.»

La Droguerie
«I’m a fan of this big store with its stone walls covered with colourful skeins of knitting wool, ribbons, fabrics, jars of beads and drawers full of marvellous buttons and dressings for your creations. At La Droguerie you buy your wool by weight and your beads by the ladleful! The devil is in the details and it’s a must-see store if you love your colours. »

L'Atelier de la création
«Here you can find everything you need for needlework, with a really great selection of branded fabrics and wools. The haberdashery aisle features a wide range of knitting and sewing essentials.” »

« Nathalie opened this gem of a store more than 14 years ago, and I’ve been inspired by its colours and materials ever since. She painstakingly selects the brands she distributes and everything’s always beautiful and innovative, season after season.»
