The Season Per Annum 2025 : 22

In this post, we are pleased to present another set of green vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

The set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade with figured Crosses and quatrefoils in a bright shade green upon a black background.  This gives the set the appearance of a quite dark green. The vestments are lined in a brighter shade of green taffeta.

The ornament is in the English style and is formed from an orphrey braid in colours of straw-gold upon red.  This braid, named Welby, is one of the unique braids of the Saint Bede Studio and is derived from the designs of the Gothic Revivalist, A.W.N. Pugin.  

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

The Season Per Annum 2025 : 6

In this post, we are pleased to present a glimpse of another set of green vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

The Saint Bede Studio has made up this set many times over the years, it being an adaptation of a design for green vestments by AWN Pugin in the Gothic Revival style.

The set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade with figured Crosses and quatrefoils in a bright shade green upon a black background.  This gives the set the appearance of a quite dark green. The vestments are lined in a shade of crimson-red taffeta. 

The ornament is in the English style and is formed from an orphrey braid in colours of straw-gold upon red.  This unique braid was designed by the Studio many years ago, based directly on the ornamental work of Pugin.  

This beautiful and distinctive set of vestments was commissioned by an ordinand in the USA.

In this season of Advent : 3

In this Holy Season of Advent, we are pleased to present a set of vestments in a distinctive decorative scheme. 

The vestments are constructed from a deeper shade of violet ecclesiastical brocade and fully-lined with Royal Blue taffeta.  The use of a colour scheme of violet, blue and gold is a fitting reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  

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

The braid used to ornament these vestments is called Saint Chad, being one of the Studio's unique braids and based directly on the designs of AWN Pugin.

This set is a variation of the Studio's Gothic Revival style and is quite ample.

Festal Vestments : our unique braids : 5

The vestments in this post were made from a silk brocade in a rich shade of gold and fully-lined in crimson taffeta.  

The vestments are ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids, called Saint Columba.  It features knotwork derived from ancient Anglo-celtic exemplars.    

One image also shews an example of the many and varied fringes used by the Studio at the ends of stoles and maniples.  In this instance, a substantial fringe in colours of rust-red and old gold harmonises both with the braid and the brocade.
