Embroidered vestments have a long and storied history. They've adorned our churches, altars, and icons for centuries. In the past, each embroidery could take highly skilled artists months to complete and a lifetime of dedication to master.
Through our partnership with Amfion, we are proud to make this rich and storied tradition of embroidered vestments available to all priests and parishes around the world.
Amfion is a leader in preserving the precious art of ecclesiastical embroideries. At their workshop in Thessaloniki, Greece, Amfion’s craftsmen faithfully recreate our most sacred icons and images with vivid color and detail. By harnessing an innovative collaboration of craftsmen and revolutionary, next generation embroidering technology, we are pleased to offer this once exclusive art form at a leading value.
