Puces des couturières de Calvisson

The Puces des couturières de Calvisson

Every year, on Easter Monday, the Foyer communal of Calvisson transforms into a specialized market for all sewing and creative hobby enthusiasts. The Puces des couturières bring together about thirty exhibitors offering a remarkable selection of haberdashery, fabrics, antique linens, fashion items, and creations.

This unique event in the Gard brocante scene attracts seamstresses, creators, and lovers of beautiful fabrics from neighboring towns and sometimes from much further afield. The atmosphere is friendly and passionate, fueled by exchanges between exhibitors and visitors who share the same passion for fabric and needlework.

A market dedicated to sewing and creative hobbies

The specificity of the Puces des couturières lies in the richness and variety of its textile offerings:

• Second-hand fabrics and fabric scraps
• Antique and contemporary haberdashery: buttons, threads, ribbons, lace
• Antique linens: tablecloths, embroidered sheets, tea towels
• Sewing patterns, specialized books, and magazines
• Sewing machines and accessories
• Creative hobby items: embroidery, knitting, crochet
• Second-hand clothing and fashion accessories

The approximately 30 stalls are spread both inside the Foyer communal and in the outdoor area, providing ample space to browse and find that rare gem.

Calvisson, a village in the Pays de Sommières

Calvisson is a commune in the Gard region with about 3,000 inhabitants, located in the Pays de Sommières, between Nîmes and the Mediterranean Sea. This village of garrigue and vineyards retains an authentic character with its typically Languedocian streets. The Foyer communal, the venue for the event, is easily accessible from the neighboring communes of the Communauté de communes du Pays de Sommières.
