If you are visiting Paris and only have limited time, I can take you to see sewing,

knitting and craft shops off the beaten track.

If you've already visited the main stores , I can take you where

the costumers go, to the latest shop for couture fabrics open in April 2013 and wholesalers in hidden courtyards

I pick you up at your hotel and we whizz around Paris on public transport

for four or five hours looking at the shops you 're interested in seeing.

New! Charity shops

Choose hardware for bags : clips rivets eyelets locks clasps

in a part of Paris tourists never visit

Knit or crochet on the metro to

stores for French Italian Norwegian and Scottish yarns

Admire French craftsmanship in a showroom for

braids and tassels just right for a chateau or see silk flowers being made

for haute couture dresses

Lunch in the 19th century seamstresses refectory (one of the best kept secrets in Paris)

Take an afternoon trip outside Paris to visit the Mother of Pearl Museum at Meru

See how buttons are made
