She then embarks on a tour to learn more about the materials used in the coat:&nbsp;an italian silk factory, an&nbsp;english woven mill and horned button maker.&nbsp;&nbsp;One thing that's reinforced in this book is that it's all in the details and sadly, the dying skills that goes into creating these&nbsp;pieces.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-115#post-1157228 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 08:27:15 +0000 Inge 1157228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing set of links this week!
