The Kleins Archive

Discover beautiful deadstock haberdashery from the historic Kleins of London collection. Preserved from decades of supplying the fashion, theatre and costume industries, our archive includes vintage trims, ribbons, lace, buttons and specialist sewing supplies that are often no longer available elsewhere.

Length of vintage scalloped edge embroidered tulle lace trim. Lovely and soft so perfect for lingerie and bra making.

Many pieces in the archive were originally sourced for designers, costume makers and production teams, making them ideal for adding authentic detail to garments and creative projects.

Deadstock refers to unused stock that is no longer in regular production. These unique pieces may come from discontinued collections, surplus manufacturing runs or historic shop stock, making each find limited and often impossible to replace once sold.

    Explore the Archive Collections

      As archive and deadstock pieces are limited collections, quantities vary and many items cannot be restocked once sold. If you find something perfect for your project, we recommend ordering enough while it is available.

      From Kleins London to today

      The Kleins Archive began with the closure of the original Kleins shop on Noel Street, London. Rather than allowing decades of specialist haberdashery to disappear, we became custodians of this collection and continue to share these unique pieces with designers, makers and sewing enthusiasts today.
