Silk at Moline in Paris

I'm still sorting through almost 1,000 photos I took in Paris in June, and a truly memorable day was the one I spent in Montmartre with my friend Sigrun, going through the beautiful Moline fabric stores. Moline has several stores within walking distance of each other, each with a specialty of its own.

Of course I wanted to find the SILK one, which had these two store models to draw me in.


Click the photo to zoom in on the detail - these frocks are made without sewing, and you can see lots of fine detail which has been cut into the silk for display. You'd never see this in Sydney!

I also marvelled over the fabulous way the rolls of silk were displayed in their wooden wall units - an ingenious fabric strip with large holes punched in it, to slot the end of the roll into and allow it to unroll easily. Marvellous!
