Puces des couturières de Fontaine-sous-Jouy

A sewing market in the Eure valley

The Puces des couturières de Fontaine-sous-Jouy is an annual event specializing in the world of sewing, embroidery, knitting, and creative hobbies. Held every spring, this event brings together enthusiasts of fiber arts who come to sell or buy fabrics by the meter, haberdashery, patterns, spools of thread, buttons, ribbons, and used sewing equipment. The ideal opportunity to give a second life to unused supplies and discover rare or vintage items.

A spirit of sharing and circular economy

The Puces des couturières are part of a very trendy reuse and circular economy approach. Each exhibitor brings their unused supplies—fabric scraps, partially used spools of thread, antique buttons, zippers, vintage patterns, sewing machines—and sells them at a low price. Visitors leave with treasures to fuel their creations at a lower cost, in a warm and creative atmosphere.
