Our first replication of wooden storage boxes inspired by those delivered to haberdashery stores when thimbles were ordered by the gross, then boxes for thread cards, similar to the carton ones used in the past. They were followed by miniature boxes, used for buttons, pins and needles, hooks and eyes… Le Bon Marche in Paris had an exceptional haberdashery department and sold many articles in beautiful wooden boxes.

Au Dé - Fil à coudre incassable
