The origins of the Fil Au Chinois brand

Fil Au Chinois, despite its name, is one of the oldest sewing thread brands in France. You can find its detailed history in Madame Sajou's Diary. This brand, which almost disappeared, was revived by the Toulemonde company, the last French manufacturer of sewing threads.

The complete range of Fil Au Chinois sewing threads

Historically, Fil Au Chinois is synonymous with linen threads for sewing and leatherwork. The famous star cards and linen balls in capsules, as well as waxed cable linen, are essential for hand leatherwork. These are the historical threads of the brand.

Fil Au Chinois also offers an exceptional range of sewing threads, developed in collaboration with Frédérique Crestin-Billet, owner of Maison Sajou: cotton threads available in various spool sizes and cones, polyester threads also available in multiple presentations, patchwork threads, and gloving threads for appliqué and the famous Luneville or tambour embroidery with beads and sequins, as well as metallized threads, rayon threads which can be used for embroidery, silk threads for buttonholes, variegated threads for hand quilting, tacking threads, and not forgetting invisible threads and polyester overlock threads for sergers.

Fil Au Chinois threads also include

In addition to this already comprehensive range of sewing and leatherwork threads, you will find all our threads for bobbin lace, including the famous Calais and Caudry cocoons, and all the Egyptian cotton and matt linen threads for lace-making.
