The Season of Lent 2026 : 6

In this post a set of vestments is presented in the Studio's nod to contemporary styles.  This style we call Saint Martin.  It is both long and wide and is especially designed to fold up beautifully when the arms of the celebrant are elevated (as is shewn in the adjacent image). 

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.

A violet broacade is lined in burgundy-coloured cloth and is ornamented with a contrasting brocade in colours of burgundy and old gold.  The ornament is very simple : a TAU in the front and a column at the back.

The Season of Lent 2026 : 5

The vestments described in this post were commissioned some years ago by an esteemed customer of the Saint Bede Studio, from a Diocese in Canada.  Since then, we have made several similar sets.

Adjacent is pictured the set of vestments in the Gothic Revival style.

This elegant set of vestments was made from a violet-coloured ecclesiastical brocade and lined in Royal Blue taffeta.  The orphrey was formed from one of the Studio's unique braids, Saint Chad, augmented with a narrow braid in blue and gold.

During this Holy Season, the Studio is pleased to present these vestments, made from dupion silk and lined in a subtle lavender shade of taffeta. 

The orphrey of this chasuble is formed from one of the Saint Bede Studio's unique  braids called Rosa Antiqua.  The braid has been especially designed for use with Rose and Indigo-violet vestments.
