Fashion Accessories from the RSN Collection

This is a recording of a live online event originally broadcast on Wednesday 27 October 2021 and available to view on-demand until Spring 2022.

Amy has delved into our Collection to find glorious examples of bags, purses, gloves, fans, shawls and parasols that reveal our enduring appreciation of hand embroidered accessories.

Accessories are where the craft and artistry of embroidery, and the display of fashion, taste and consumption are perfectly matched. In this talk, Amy will explore a variety of embroidered objects that demonstrate the versatility and beauty of embroidery over the past four hundred years.
