Bonjour Couture Ami!

Today I am happy to bring you a subscriber-only special on two collections — DOUBLE KNITS and PONTE KNITS. Enter code DOUBLE2022 at checkout today (10/14/22) and save 20-80% off all fabrics in both collections.

Please don’t let poly blends put you off. Today’s synthetics are not the dreaded plastic pantsuit fabrics of the 1970s. These next generation fibers are used by top designers because they put the ready in ready-to-wear. You’ll find that quite a few of our new double knits come to us as exclusive designer deadstock from California fashion houses.

And now for a first trend report from Paris...

Following a super smooth flight, we again found ourselves exploring the City of Lights anew. Busy sidewalks are once again a promenade of emerging fashion trends featuring a non-stop parade of fashionistas and flaneurs.

If you love ANIMAL PRINTS and faux furs, then you’re in very good company. Both are trending big time here in Paris. Shown above is one store window featuring a menagerie of animal motifs in one wild outfit.

Remember to enter code DOUBLE2022 for 20-80% off the DOUBLE KNIT and PONTE KNIT collections today (10/24/22). You’ll find a selection of sophisticated dark prints along with solids in a spectrum of colors.

Happy Sewing!
