From verified buyers

I have purchased three stoles so far and received two of them. They are beautiful. The quality of materials and also the designs used are just wonderful. I will not use another company so long as these folks are in business.

It is an amazing stole!

I am very happy with my purchase

For guilds who sew

Sewing your own?

Our violet and rose brocades, the trims to finish them and full-size vestment patterns are on the fabric catalog, sorted by season. Many of our brocades and trims come in from the United Kingdom and other countries and may take 2 to 4 weeks to reach us, so order cloth early too.

Lent orders

Questions we hear

Can you rush a piece for Lent or Easter?

When our schedule allows. Rush work carries a rush production fee, shown as its own line on the invoice, so ask us before you order. Our rush policy.

Can we see the cloth first?

Yes. Most of our brocades come as swatches, so you can see the color in your own church before you order.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes. International orders usually take 4 to 22 days in transit, depending on the courier you choose at checkout.

We are tax exempt. What do you need from us?

Your state's sales tax exemption form, or a valid exemption certificate for the state the order ships to. Our tax page has the details.
