Saint Cuthbert Vestments

This post features a set of red vestments in the Studio's Saint Cuthbert style.  This chasuble is both long and wide and is especially designed to fold up beautifully when the arms of the celebrant are elevated. 

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

The Saint Cuthbert chasuble is notable for a steeply-angled Y-orphrey, which is especially effective when the ornament is formed from a narrow galloon.  This ornament replicates certain mediaeval chasubles which have survived and others depicted in manuscript illuminations.

Tasteful contemporary vestments are made by certain studios in Italy, France and Germany, but we also make them here in Australia at the Saint Bede Studio.  This set has a simple dignity and is made from high quality fabrics.

Crimson-red dupion silk is lined with a copper-coloured taffeta and is ornamented with one of the Studio's braids called Saxony, being knotwork in three colours.
