The Importance of Handcrafted Church Vestments

But while that works perfectly for many things in life—like toothpaste—it’s not the best approach when it comes to something as important as church vestments. Here’s why.

At Ecclesiastical Sewing, we live and breathe church vestments. It’s our passion and our craft. Unfortunately, the offerings from some of the “cheaper” manufacturers may not be as great a deal as they seem. These products are typically mass-produced overseas in factories where workers are paid very little. The materials used are often extremely cheap, resulting in vestments that don’t look as nice, come with flaws, and won’t last nearly as long.

Sure, it’s tempting to order your vestments off Amazon—after all, it’s easy and inexpensive. But our vestments are made to order with a difference: we use the finest European brocade, and each piece is handmade right here in the U.S. by artisans who have a deep passion for the liturgical arts and the rich history behind these sacred garments. We’re confident our vestments will last for many decades to come.
