FIL ROUGE

Francesca Rubei

Hand-crocheted red halter top styled with a pink sarong and grey crochet bag on a vintage mannequin

The Red Thread

Every piece begins with a single thread.

Fil rouge — the red thread — is the story that runs through everything: the idea that connects one stitch to the next, one piece to the person who wears it. Each top, bag and bolero in this collection is crocheted entirely by hand by Francesca Rubei. No two are ever quite the same.
