Collars

Collars reached the peak of their popularity in the 16th century, because that was when the collar became the kind of collar we associate with it today. Initially worn with men’s clothing and reaching down past the shoulders, it was meant to give its wearer a distinguished character, broaden the shoulders and decorate the outfit. It made its way into women’s fashion later, and today there is hardly a person who has never worn a collar or a blouse with a collar.

With us you will find in the haberdashery lace collars available in two colours, white and ecru. A guipure collar is a perfect adornment for a simple blouse or dress. Fashion designers are increasingly turning to styles that were in vogue a dozen or even several dozen years ago and are looking for inspiration, among other places, in decorative haberdashery such as collars, plastic clips and vintage-style brooches.

Be inspired by world fashion designers and create your own, unique style! Thanks to the accessories you will find in our haberdashery shop you can sew dresses, jackets, coats and handbags, decorating them with accessories according to your own ideas and style.

A collar added to a simple cotton blouse or dress will turn it into a completely new outfit. You can create your own shirt or dress with a collar by choosing from our embroidered laces or guipure appliqués. Collars, lace and appliqués do not have to be white to be elegant; you can choose, for example, a black appliqué and combine it with a contrasting colour or with black itself to emphasise, for instance, the cut of a classic “little black dress.”

An original collar can be sewn from a frill or fringes, or created from stitched-together buttons, studs or snap fasteners attached around the neck, or from little pearls sewn onto the blouse to form the outline of a collar. The ideas are endless, and you will find all the necessary materials in our sewing wholesale store.
