Episode 2 – Renowned textile artist and embroidery expert Rebecca Devaney invites us to Paris’ legendary Puces de Saint-Ouen flea market. With a career spanning the most prestigious couture houses—including Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent—Rebecca knows textiles like few others, and today she’s sharing her world with us.

Our destination: the exquisite shop of Madame Giovannani, a treasure trove of the finest linens you’ll find. As Madame Giovannani unveils her carefully curated collection, Rebecca’s expert eye catches every detail – the quality of the weave, the delicacy of hand-stitched monograms, the whisper of antique damask, and the stories woven into each piece.

From crisp French bed linens adorned with intricate embroidery to vintage table cloths that once graced elegant Parisian tables, this episode is a masterclass in recognizing quality and appreciating the artistry of fine textiles. Rebecca reveals what to look for, how to identify exceptional pieces, and why these linens have stood the test of time.

Join us for an intimate journey through fabric, craft, and the enduring beauty of French textile traditions.
