The Victorian lady chose her sewing box and sewing tools with great care and many of these items exist today.

Many of these tools were beautifully made by craftsmen from precious metals, treasured by their owners and handed down through the generations. Others were very simply crafted out of wood, individually carved and embellished . we have tried hard to retain a Victorian flavor and styling where ever possible.
