Guimarães Embroidery
Lavender Satchet
A linen lavender bag with Guimarães Embroidery, and it smells so good.
Story of the piece
Lavender Satchet
The art of Guimarães Embroidery is not so lost, and it smells so good.
There are eight billion people in the world. Only eight of them are certified artisans in the art of Guimarães Embroidery.
Made from linen fabric, the Lavender Bag is one of the few pieces we have found decorated with this historic technique of artisanal embroidery, vibrant in colours, texture and unparalleled quality pattern. It is an uncommon work of art, hidden in plain sight.
The embroidery is a blend of rich 19th-century embroidery and even older folk embroidery, all originating from the city of Guimarães (Minho, Portugal). It allows only six colours (red, blue, beige, grey, white and black) which must be knitted separately, reproducing stylised motifs.
