Eres, the iconic Parisian swimwear and lingerie brand, will be one of the brands taking part in the London Craft Week, which will be held on May 3-7.

The label will give visitors an insight into making lace lingerie through demonstrations, as well as a talk by one of the Eres makers. The brand explains that "lingerie styles conceal a horde of technical details such as chain stitching and flat assembly of pieces." The Eres talk is sold out, but visitors can come and see demonstrations between 10am - 5pm on May 3.

London Craft Week launched in 2015 and then had 70 events and 20,000 visits. This second edition will feature almost twice as many events, 130, ranging from hidden workshops to luxury brands.
