The History of Embroidery and Appliqué
Embroidery and appliqué have rich histories dating back thousands of years.
Embroidery, believed to originate around 30,000 BCE, served as a means of embellishment and storytelling in various civilisations worldwide, from Ancient Egypt to China’s Han Dynasty. Meanwhile, appliqué emerged in diverse forms across cultures, with evidence dating back to ancient Mediterranean civilisations. This technique to create intricate designs has been integral to cultural traditions, religious ceremonies, and textile artistry.
Together, embroidery and appliqué continue to captivate and inspire creativity across the globe and we’re pleased to be a small part of that.
