Textiles enrich our lives.
We preserve, repair, restore and display.
Caring for Textiles
Caring for Textiles provides a comprehensive range of conservation services for textiles. We begin by listening, and discussing your textile project with you. Based on those discussions, we provide condition reports and proposals that evaluate your textiles and offer the best treatment options. 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.
