The Florence Brocade is a late Victorian design with a distinctive heavy-weft effect, giving it a tactile presence and a lace-like appearance. Designed by William Perkins, it was inspired by Italian lacework and decorative arts, resulting in a fabric that feels both delicate and substantial.  

Florence works beautifully for vestments, banners, and altar hangings where a softer, more romantic texture is desired. Its deeper weave adds body and movement, while the repeating pattern keeps it visually grounded. This fabric offers a liturgical richness without overwhelming the eye.  

Florence is available in a wide array of liturgical colors, including Bridal White, Ivory, Deep Cream, Rose, Green, Violet, and Red, making it one of the more versatile and expressive brocades in the collection. The three shades of white makes Florence one of the few options for creating vestments with tone on tone. 

**A Note About International Shipping and Customs Fees:
This fabric is sourced from England and typically ships directly to you from the mill. This helps avoid double shipping costs and ensures faster delivery. Availability can vary depending on current stock and the mill’s production schedule. Please also note that an additional customs fee will be charged to you by the carrier. You will get an email disclosing the amount, with a link to pay it once your fabric reaches the US. Unfortunately, we are not able to simply calculate this cost in advance and roll it into the product purchase, because it fluctuates. We appreciate your understanding.
