Vintage Fil au Chrysanthème Fine Thread – White

Unused vintage thread with the kind of thoughtful presentation that makes old French haberdashery so irresistible. Each small ball is neatly wound and tucked into its original paper-wrapped box, preserving a glimpse of everyday sewing supplies from another era.

Based on its construction and period packaging, this thread is believed to be a fine cotton sewing thread intended for hand sewing, mending, embroidery, lacework, and other delicate needlework. It is unwaxed and has a smooth, supple feel. Sourced as unused deadstock from France, each ball remains perfectly usable while also appealing to collectors of vintage sewing notions.

Fil au Chrysanthème was one of the many French thread brands produced during the golden age of France's textile industry. Its beautifully packaged threads reflect the quality and craftsmanship that made French haberdashery respected throughout the world.
