Through our many references, all made in France, you will find the ideal thread for your sewing, embroidery or leather goods creations, made by hand or by machine:
The Au Chinois brand was registered in November 1847 by François – Philibert Vrau, who had founded his company in Lille some twenty years earlier. The Au Chinois brand took on its full potential in the 1850s, with the arrival of Philibert Vrau, son of the previous brand. A prominent figure in Lille employers, he was, among other things, the main founder of Icam, the Catholic Institute of Arts and Crafts in Lille.
Like many other brands in the north of France, Fil Au Chinois experienced a long period of decline: the arrival of sewing machines in homes first, which dealt a severe blow to the use of linen thread, industrial difficulties , unsuitable commercial policy…
While the production of Fil Au Chinois continued to decline, interest in all advertising items and old productions only grew in the hearts of collectors. Fil Au Chinois could have disappeared in 2007 but we decided to take over the brand and rehabilitate the machines used in production – some of which are very old – and decided to restore Fil Au Chinois to all its former glory.
Manufacturer of sewing thread, embroidery thread, weaving thread, knitting thread, etc.
