Paris was at an Anthropologie event today and she stitched my grandmas name into a dress! It was so incredible, Paris was so lovey. Her skill is incredible and she ended up crafting my most beloved masterpiece! It was such a treat, thank you.

Milkweed Mercantile is such a sweet little shop in the proprietor, Paris, is an absolute delight! Custom chain stitch embroidery, ready-made embroidered jackets, candles gifts and other interesting fines, this is a must visit shop! There's also the cutest Airbnb in conjunction with the shop, so delightfully decorated:-)

From Milkweed- Embroidery, Gifts, and Mercantile
Paris King is a chain stitch embroidery artist in Saluda, North Carolina. Her brand is called Milkweed. Using an antique chain stitch machine from 1930, each stitch is guided by hand. This creates a uniquely one of a kind look much different from today’s computer controlled embroidery. Her inspiration often comes anywhere from traditional tattoo imagery, 1970s color palettes, song lyrics, vintage wallpaper, and the flora and fauna of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Paris creates custom pieces for clients in addition to offering patches, embroidered jackets, bandanas and more. She has a studio in Saluda, Milkweed, available to shop by appointment. She also travels to offer live chain stitching at events and markets.
