“The Hand & Lock Couture Quality Mellor is a haberdashery must have. With a gold metal finish and engraved with [the] crown logo. Add a touch of Hand & Lock elegance to your sewing kit.
A Mellor, also known as a laying tool, is a small, slender tool used in embroidery to manipulate threads and stitches. It typically has a pointed or rounded tip and a smooth, flat surface.
Hand & Lock’s rich history dates back to 1767 when M. Hand, a young Huguenot refugee from France, arrived in London and began selling lace to military tailors… His expertise in embellishing officers’ dress uniforms, which required precision and craftsmanship, quickly made M. Hand & Co. a trusted name among Savile Row and military tailors—a relationship that endures over 250 years later.
Today, Hand & Lock continues to serve a diverse clientele, including international fashion houses, emerging designers, interior decorators, the Royal Family, and costume designers for theatre, film, and television. Despite its evolution, the company prides itself on preserving the traditional embroidery techniques that have remained largely unchanged since 1767.” [Hand & Lock]
