Introducing our Icons and Pioneers collection: a series of kits inspired by the lives of notable women throughout history.
Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the French Revolution, was known for her extravagant style and lavish lifestyle. Antoinette became a symbol of royal excess but there was more to her than powdered wigs and ball gowns. Intelligent and politically aware, she navigated a dangerous court life while trying to protect her family and legacy during a time of enormous upheaval. Though vilified in her time and executed at just 37, Marie Antoinette’s image has since been re-examined and she now stands as a complex figure of femininity, power and survival in the face of revolution.
We drew inspiration from her opulent wardrobe, exquisite jewellery and interior details of the Palace of Versailles to create the stylised floral design.
The kit includes an embroidered duck egg satin base fabric with all the threads, beads, sequins and crystals you will need to complete this design.
Kits do not include an embroidery hoop
