Although it is thought that Madeiran Embroidery was first made in the 15th century to decorate the clothes of the nobility, the first known references date from the mid-19th century.
Inspired by nature, Madeiran Embroidery is based on fluid and elegant movements in which floral and geometric figures are combined in a unique way.
The production process is slow and painstaking. After the design is created and perforated on tracing paper, it is transferred to the fabric using a special blue dye. The prepared fabric is then handed over to an embroiderer who will spend many hours creating a unique piece.
No two pieces are alike and each one is a true work of art.
