In Ascensiontide

In this Ascensiontide,  the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present this set of festal vestments. 

The vestments are made from a beautiful silk damask in a very muted gold, with golden highlights. They are fully-lined in crimson-red taffeta.

This Borromeon chasuble is ornamented in the well-known Roman style, being the TAU at the front and a column at the back, formed by a damask in colours of burgundy and gold and an outlining gold galloon.

The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.

The chasuble is in the Studio's Borromeon style, which is the product of years of research into historical vestments and refinement of dimensions for comfortable use.  The Studio revived this more ample 16th century style of the Roman chasuble in 2007 and since then we have made many of them.  Beware of poorly-made imitations!

Fatima

On this lovely feast Our Lady of Fatima we are pleased to describe this Marian chasuble being in the Gothic Revival style.

The decorative focus of this vestment is an orphrey braid which is based on the work of AWN Pugin.  This braid, which we call Salve Regina, is produced in two shades of blue (lighter and darker) with figured ornament in gold and white.

These vestments were made from an ecclesiastical damask in the shade of ivory and lined in blue taffeta.

Paschaltide 2026 : 8

The vestments in this post were made from a splendid ivory-coloured English brocade and were fully-lined in a muted-gold taffeta.  The Saint Bede Studio has made similar vestments on many occasions now and the combination of colours has been found very attractive by our customers.

The vestments are ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids; it is called Saint Giles.  Notice how this braid is arranged : the greatest care is taken with all our vestments to ensure that braids are precisely and harmoniously aligned, not obscuring design elements.  

In the attached images, you can see how the braid features burgundy medallions or roundels which enclose a stylised Gothic Cross.  But the background colour of the braid is red.  The colours are vibrant and typically mediaeval.

On the Feast of S' Pius V

On this Feast of the great Pope of the post-mediaeval period, Saint Pius V, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present a style of vestments with which Pius V would have been familiar.

This set of vestments is in the style we call Saint Philip Neri.  It is a modern interpretation of the chasubles illustrated in various depictions of Saint Philip and other bishops and saints of the 16th century.  Although ornamented in the Roman manner, this is an earlier and more traditional form of "the Roman chasuble" being both wider and longer.  As made by the Saint Bede Studio, this style of vestment is very comfortable to wear.

This particular set was made from a beautiful silk damask in a shade of ivory, it was lined in a muted golden taffeta and ornamented with a repeating Cross-design brocade, outlined with a golden galloon.
