Fun fact: Did you know that embroidery dates all the way back to the Middle Ages? Yup, this traditional turned fashion trend may well have been the earliest moda to have ever existed!
Today, embroidery is a technique beloved by designers such as Elie Saab and Valentino for use in their haute couture collections. We can certainly see why – the “ethnic” touch and intricate needlework are details that we greatly appreciate.

We’ve narrowed down our favourite embroidered tops, dresses and more, to make your shopping a smooth and pleasant one. You can thank us later!
