PARIS, Apr 26, 2010 / FW/ — What is Sweat Shop?
Sweat Shop is a “cafe couture”, a new creative concept situated near hotspot canal St Martin in Paris. Imagine 10 work stations equipped with 10 SINGER sewing machines and one central communal table.
And with 5 courses that are being offered every week to perfect your knitting and sewing skills or meet one of our guest designers in town for an encounter, it’s a new hands-on fashion hub. Not unlike a cyber cafe, you come whenever you please, rent a state of the art sewing machine by the hour and start sewing.
Welcome to a world of creativity, a place of discovery, of DIY ethics, a piping hot cup of tea and funky furniture. Enjoy organic delicacies courtesy of our New York neighbors at Bob’s Juice Bar.
Enter into a serene atmosphere where work and relaxation go hand in hand. Bored of buying, wearing, throwing away? Fix that seam, make a dress out of those trousers or even design and create a brand new silhouette.
Sweat Shop is the place where your dreams and projects come alive. And it’s here for those wanting to learn, create, transform, practice or recycle in a stress free and well equipped environment.
