Where Every Thread
Tells a Story
Tucked into a charming corner storefront on historic Sutter Street, Katrina's Antique European Textiles is unlike any shop you've ever visited. Owner Katrina Rudge has spent decades personally sourcing extraordinary pieces directly from European estates, antique markets, and specialist collections across France, Belgium, Italy, and England.
From delicate 18th-century French bobbin lace to lush velvet ribbons from 1940s Lyon, every single item in the shop is a genuine antique — carefully authenticated, lovingly preserved, and ready to inspire your next creation. Katrina knows the story behind every piece and loves to share it.

Directly from
European Estates
Katrina doesn't buy from wholesalers or intermediaries. She travels personally to France, Belgium, Italy, and England — visiting estate sales, specialist dealers, and antique markets to find pieces that meet her exacting standards for quality, authenticity, and beauty.
This direct sourcing means that every piece in the shop comes with Katrina's personal knowledge of its origin, its history, and its story. When you buy from Katrina, you're not just buying a ribbon or a piece of lace — you're acquiring a piece of European history.
Her customers include Hollywood costume designers, museum conservators, couture fashion houses, serious collectors, and passionate crafters who understand that the quality of 18th and 19th-century European textile work simply cannot be replicated today.

Katrina is so warm and accommodating. The selection of ribbons and trims is unlike anything I've found anywhere else in California — truly extraordinary pieces that you simply cannot source anywhere else.

I drove from Sacramento specifically to visit this shop and it was absolutely worth every mile. The antique lace collection is breathtaking. Katrina's knowledge of each piece's history and provenance is incredible.

A hidden gem in the heart of Old Town Folsom. Every single visit I discover something new and magical. Katrina helped me find the perfect 19th-century French ribbon for a major restoration project.
