Vestments in the Borromeon form

Borromeon vestments

We are pleased to present a set of vestments made for a returning customer of the Saint Bede Studio.  These vestments, in the Borromeon form, were made from a distinctive lampas in a shade of silver with bronze-coloured woven embroideries. The ornament, in the Roman manner, was formed from the Studio's Saint Columba brocade in colours of red, burgundy and gold, outlined with golden galloons. The vestments were lined in a rich golden taffeta.
