We have made silk vestments of the highest quality since 1874. Historically, everything was made to order, according to the individual’s exact specifications. This is still the case with our bespoke vestments. Our stock ranges, however, provide a new alternative to this. Cut by hand and carefully stitched by machine in our workroom, these vestments are available in a wide range of set designs and styles.
