Robèrt Embroideries – A stitch in time

Overview

In 1877 the Robèrt family moved to New Zealand and introduced gold and silver bullion embroidery to the country. Robèrt Embroideries is still run by the original family and has one of the most modern factories in New Zealand. The talk will look back on six generations and how the embroidery business has evolved over the past 148 years.
