WANTED!
ANY INFORMATION ON THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS PURSE
My exploration (and attempts at reconstruction) of Early- through Late-Medieval purses, pouches, and bags with a focus on embroidery and other methods of surface decoration.
About This Blog
My current research obsession is centered around purses and pouches from the European Middle Ages, and the accompanying hardware and passementerie. It is my hope to not only study extant items but also learn via reconstructive experiments; these will be limited for the most part to the textile components, however in the future I hope to explore the production of the metal frames.

This is very pretty! You didn't cut any of the threads in the centers, did you? Are they just pulled aside?
Right, just spread with an awl.
It's beautiful!!!
oooooooooh! i have been working on a digitalised pattern for this purse! didn't get to the actual embroidering it though. yours looks very pretty already!
@ Isis: Was your pattern interpretation any different than mine? I based mine off just what I could see in the photos from the IRPA site..
@ everyone: Thank you for the compliments :-)
