Textiles enrich our lives.

We preserve, repair, restore and display.

Caring for Textiles

At Caring for Textiles we provide a comprehensive range of conservation services for textiles. This starts with listening, discussing, condition reports and proposals, followed by a full range of treatments. Our team offers collection surveys and management, preventive measures, mounts and display preparation, mannequin customizing, installations and exhibition planning and implementation.

We value our personal dialogues with clients, fostered in a spirit of generosity,  respect for the artifact and its history, and the preferences of the owner for future use and care. We affectionately call this ‘textile therapy’. We welcome inquiries about any textile or collection…. tiny, tattered, personal, new, heirloom, or monumental.
