Half circle shaped capes

Semi-circular, woolen capes are very widespread, from antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. They are a must!
Sober, elegant, with a beautiful drape, they keep you warm in winter, and can be folded back in summer, so as not to get too hot.
These capes have simple edges, sewn at the hem point, or decorated with silk bias.
Many colors of wool and silk bias are available. Here are a few examples of the very numerous possibilities.
Prices starts from 135 euros.

Rectangular shaped woolen capes

Of Germanic origin, these capes were in vogue in the Scandinavian space in the early Middle Ages, among the Anglo-Saxon populations, probably also the Merovingians... as well as among the Scandinavian settlers settled in the Rus' world. These capes can be worn in different ways, and are both a garment and a blanket during the cold times of the year.
Simple, they have a sewn edge at the hem point. Handmade stitching, as always. Many colors are available. Prices starts from 75 euros.

Capes with historical stamps

Wool capes, semi-circular in shape, or rectangulars, decorated with stamps of historical motifs.
We have faithfully copied these patterns, from the archaeological textile remains available, and from various silk brocades, mostly Byzantine. These exceptional fabrics greatly influenced fashion in Europe in the Middle Ages: clothes were decorated with stamps, to imitate Byzantine fashion at a lower cost.
Frescoes were even painted on the walls, the patterns of which were copied from Byzantine silk brocades (the Esztergom lion pattern is a striking example).

We have arguably the most extensive historical stamp library in Western Europe.
We stamp by hand, meticulously.
Many colors of wool, and silk for the edges, are available. It is also possible to sew the edges using a simple hemstitch. All visible stitches are hand-sewn, as usual.
For Rus & Byzantine early-medieval reenactors, particulary. In the later part of the Middle-age, the crafters, located in modern called-Germany were also textile stamping specialists.
Half-circle shaped: Prices starts from 165 euros
Rectangular shaped: Prices starts from 100 euros
