Puces des Couturières de Vautorte

Puces des Couturières – Vautorte (53500)

In Vautorte (53500), a commune in northern Mayenne in the Ernée sector, an original event is held each June in the landscape of departmental flea markets: the Puces des Couturières. This specialized market attracts enthusiasts of sewing, knitting, embroidery, and textile creation, who find second-hand items related to their creative hobbies there.

Vautorte is a village in the Ernée countryside, in northern Mayenne, belonging to the region of Ernée and Loiron. This rural territory with solid artisanal traditions has always maintained a special relationship with needle and thread crafts, a legacy of generations of seamstresses and knitters who passed through the winter creating and repairing.

The Puces des Couturières are a thematic second-hand market focused on the world of sewing and textile arts. You will find in abundance: fabrics and remnants of all kinds, haberdashery (buttons, threads, ribbons, fasteners), old and new sewing patterns, sewing machines and accessories, sewing books and magazines, knitting wool, embroidery kits, and everything related to textile creation.

This event is aimed at a specific but passionate audience: amateur and professional seamstresses, knitters, embroiderers, fashion designers, and all those who love working with fabric and thread. The conviviality of these Puces is particularly warm: exhibitors and visitors share a common passion that naturally creates lively exchanges and discussions.

Admission is free for visitors. The event takes place in a creator-shopper market atmosphere, where good deals circulate freely between the stalls.
