Our Difference

Why Travel with Us?

Embroidery & Textile Craft Specialists

We don't try to be everything to everyone. We collaborate with textile experts and run workshops built on years of expertise for an ideal learning environment.

Elite Instructors

We search the world for the best teachers — many trained at the RSN, École Lesage or similar — and select projects highly relevant to each destination and format.

Small Groups

Most tours run with as few as 6 and no more than 16 guests. Everyone shares a common interest, so you'll find yourself among like-minded companions.

Unique Itineraries

We research and plan thoroughly, avoid unnecessary travel, never rush, and take you places you probably wouldn't visit on your own. You won't find these itineraries elsewhere.

Comfortable Stays

Depending on the destination we usually stay at very comfortable 4 or 5 star accommodation, although we occasionally deviate from the norm to take you somewhere unique!

Solo-friendly

Many of our guests travel solo, so a private room is our standard offering. Our trips are equally welcoming whether you come alone or with a friend.
