Vestments for the Advent Season

Adjacent is pictured another the new set of vestments recently completed by the Studio in the Saint Philip Neri style.

A brocade in a deep shade of violet was used for these vestments. The ornamentation - according to the Roman style - was formed from the same brocade in a shade of crimson, outlined with a braid in colours of burgundy, red and grey. The absence of any gold ornament was intended as a design feature of these vestments.  The chasuble is lined in deep-red taffeta intended to support the colour of the orphrey.

The vestments described in this post were commissioned - together with a number of other vestments - for a Monastic Community in Brazil.

We regret any disappointment this may cause to those who have not yet made enquiries with us.

An ivory-coloured damask was used for these vestments. The ornamentation - according to the Roman style - was formed from silk damask in a shade of crimson, outlined with a braid in colours of burgundy, red and ivory. The braid is one of the Studio's unique designs. The chasuble is lined in red taffeta intended to support the colour of the orphrey.

For the Season " Per Annum " 2015 : 3

The vestments described in this post were commissioned - together with a number of other vestments - for a Monastic Community in Brazil.  Adjacent is pictured the new set of vestments in the Borromeon style.

A remnant of old silk damask in an unusual shade of moss green was used for these vestments and special care was taken to ornament them in a manner which enhanced the distinctive qualities of the damask.

The ornamentation was formed from dupion silk in a shade of teal or turquoise, outlined with a narrow braid in black and gold and enhanced with applique also in black and gold. The ornament is arranged to form a small TAU orphrey. The chasuble is lined in taffeta in a shade slightly lighter than the colour of the orphrey.

Each year, the Saint Bede Studio has the privilege of preparing sacred vestments for priestly Ordinands. Happily, this year has been no exception.

In this post we are pleased to draw attention to the ordination of another Australian Father Joshua Miechels of the Archdiocese of Sydney.

Father Miechels was ordained to the Sacred Priesthood in Saint Mary's Cathedral, Sydney on 31st October along with three other candidates.

Father Miechels commissioned vestments from the Studio in in the Borromeon style. The vestments (shewn adjacent), were sewn from a shade of ivory silk damask and were ornamented with a simple orphrey in colours of ivory and gold, arranged in the Roman style.  The vestments were lined in a muted shade of yellow taffeta.

Please pray for Father Miechels and for all newly-ordained priests.

All Souls' Day

The Saint Bede Studio continually strives to prepare new designs to offer its customers, inspired by Tradition, but not a slave to it. Adjacent is pictured a new set of vestments in the Saint Martin style.  It is not too often that we have an opportunity to present vestments intended for the Offices of the Dead.

The ornamentation of the vestment featured in this post is formed with a new braid, designed by the Studio and made exclusively for our customers.  The braid is arranged in parallel lines to form a TAU orphrey. This braid is in a knotwerk design in colours of taup, burnt orange and black. The chasuble is of silk dupion, lined in taffeta.

The vestment described in this post was commissioned together with a number of other vestments for a Monastic Community in Brazil.
