Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock!

here is a stunning pair of woman shoes that dates c1850 or maybe earlier.

These Edwardian shoes have been worn a lot, it was probably the only pair of shoes of the owner…

The fabric is a worn black thin lamb leather, a very good quality leather that used to be shiny and soft.

The laces are made of silk. 

The heel is stunning with a bobine shape. 

These Victorian shoes are a fine rare model to collect or display.

TEXTILE CARE

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.

 

INFORMATION

The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctionneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them.

Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line. I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale very often, so please keep your eyes peeled!

Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock! 

here is a beautiful vintage hand bag that dates c1960.

The fabric is a good lamp plunged leather that is still shiny and soft.

The colour is a nice navy blue. 

The bag has the big L of the brand soberly sewed embossed on the bottom of the bag.

This baguette bag closes on itself or not with nice small leather handles. Inside, even if the model is small, there is enought space for quite a few things and the bag has an inside pocket that closes with a zip.

A rare and refined model with a pure shape.

This Lancel bag is in a fine condition, as found.

A lovely find to use for many years to come.
