Moniquenwerk Broderie d’art is the store for materials used in haute couture embroidery and goldwork, owned by Monique van Munster.

Broderie d’art is the intricate embroidery technique renowned in Parisian haute couture. Monique frequently travels to Paris to source the finest beads and sequins. The store also specializes in silk embroidery threads and other beautiful yarns.

Monique has been passionate about handicrafts her entire life. Since 2013, she has run an embroidery studio in Tilburg. At her studio, Monique teaches broderie d’art, goldwork, and 3D embroidery. Her students come from all over the Netherlands, as well as from Germany and Belgium. Since 2023, Monique van Munster’s broderie d’art has been recognized on the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Netherlands.

Because she often works with hard-to-find materials, Monique started sourcing them for her students. The assortment initially grew from her classes but has now expanded into a treasure trove for embroiderers who enjoy experimenting with unique materials.

At Ambacht in Beeld, Monique sells materials for goldwork such as gold threads and spangles, silk embroidery threads, beads and sequins, colored silk organza, various types of ribbons and trimmings, silk velvet, and materials for crafting artisanal buttons.

During the festival, you can participate in Monique’s workshop on crafting artisanal buttons.
