VINTAGE TEXTILES

As many already know I have a big passion for vintage and old textiles, mostly handwoven towels, white-in-white embroidery and bobbinlace.
Therefore I love the fleamarkets and the secondhand shops. So everywhere I go I have to visit. In Copenhagen I have a favorite shop; Decor and the owner Lone have been collecting old/vintage textiles, accessories and clothes for many years. I simple love popping in there and I never go out without buying something.
Last weekend I found these lovely items.

Two small pieces.
The one to the right is perhaps bobbinlace. In about one month I'm going to start a course in bobbinlace. My Grandmother taught me this technique when I was 14 years, so I almost can't wait to get started again.
A collar in bobbinlace.

A collar in Hedebo embroidery. I love this technique.



This textile is in metal, I'm not sure of the technique, perhaps bobbinlace. I like the difference in the thick and thin yarn used to make it.

    These are amazing! We have a few secondhand shops near, but they often don't sell textiles like these. Or at least not in the condition you buy yours! I wish they did, though!

    Dear Eva and Karen,
    I'm glad you both like the textiles. I have to say Decor is a very special secondhand shop as the owner have been collecting these items for a long time and still do.

    I love the white work - white on white is an absolute favorite here!! The others are pretty too, the metallic piece is almost like cobweb!!

    This technique is very similar to Suzani embroidery of the near east from Uzbekistan to Egypt. Stunning!
