You have
all known Madame Soussou
for 8 years now,
and I would like to thank you for your kindness and continued support.
For more than fifteen years
I have been passionate about antique textiles,
rare brocades, silk confections from Lyon, embroidered items,
lace, trims, fringe, ribbons and all fabrics in general.
And, of course, in all colors!
I love color!
In the beautiful regions of France,
from magnificent manor houses or castles,
I can sometimes purchase the most splendid textiles of the highest quality.
These rare and precious French fabrics
must be truly appreciated and valued because they are becoming extremely difficult to find. They are rare, therefore,
their asking prices keep going up.
I travel a lot and cover numerous miles in order to find
these marvelous items from another, faraway time.
I also frequent numerous antique shops, auctions,
open-air antique markets and attend
the largest international antiques fairs
requires travel throughout Europe.
For your pleasure and your numerous projects,
every day I offer antique textiles
vintage fabrics, haute couture items, etc.
I invite you to visit my shop on a regular basis
and you will always be thrilled to discover
rare and wonderful items from France, Italy, and Spain.
I am always available to answer all questions
and will happily assist you in your search
for specific items and antique documents concerning
these wonderful creations from the past.
Care and Washing Instructions
Always be careful to wash antique textiles gently.
They have spent a very long time tucked away
in large trunks in castles or on the shelves of grand linen and wardrobe closets.
A careful cleaning and airing will restore their former splendor.
Thank you for your patience.
