For Laetare Sunday 2019

Twice a year, the Church breaks the tone of its penitential seasons by the use of rose-coloured vestments.  Rose-coloured vestments were never commonplace and they still are not.  Many different colours have been deemed by the Church as acceptable as liturgical rose.  Some of these are a salmon shade; some a silvery-pink, almost mushroom-colour; some close to what we would call Bishop's purple or fuchsia; and some red with overtones of gold.

We are pleased to feature this chasuble set, made from dupion silk and lined in a subtle pink shade of taffeta. The orphrey of this chasuble is formed from a new braid designed by the Studio and called Saint Charles.  The braid has been especially designed for use with Rose and Indigo-violet vestments.
