LA DAME QUI PIQUE- MERCERIE ÉTHIQUE

Open Mondays, 9am to 9pm; Wednesdays to Saturdays, 9:30am to 6:30pm.

La Dame qui pique, the ethical and atypical haberdashery, is a spacious and friendly third-party space in the former Saint-Michel church, in the heart of downtown Saintes. On site, you'll receive support for your sewing, knitting and embroidery projects. You also have access to a coworking space and an exhibition area with "le coin des artistes". In the boutique-atelier, you'll find carefully selected haberdashery products. They are chosen according to their quality, manufacture and distribution, to reduce their impact on the environment. Choose from European and French brands. For example, you can buy GOTS-certified, eco-friendly fabrics to create your own dresses, pants, skirts or timeless wardrobe. You can also choose from a wide range of yarns, including woollen yarns designed in Creuse by the Fonty brand, hemp and cotton knitting yarns, organic sewing threads and embroidery threads. Our haberdashery accessories include elastics, scissors, ribbons, zippers and needles. You'll also find embroidery kits with designs by a tattoo artist from Bordeaux, and ceramic buttons made in Charente-Maritime. An address not to be missed for lovers of sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery and textile customization!
