Fabulous little round metal tins containing mini cocoons of polyester sewing threads.
The tins open on one side with a small key, just like a tin of shoe polish.
The threads are available in two sets of colours, the red Toile du Jouy tin contains pastel colours and the green Toile du Jouy tin contains bright colours
Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
