The Ludlow Brocatelle fabric is a classic Gothic design by F.J. Flanagan featuring a bold pineapple motif framed within a pointed ogee arch. Flanagan took the main features from an old Venetian velvet design, circa 1470. The pineapple, an historical symbol of hospitality and abundance, is given a stately liturgical context through its integration with medieval architectural forms and shimmering metallic thread.

Brocatelle fabrics are known for their firm hand and sculptural effect produced through a dense weave that gives the motifs a raised or embossed quality. Ludlow’s dimensionality makes it especially striking when used for larger applications like frontals, dossals, copes, or banners where structure and pattern clarity are important.

Ludlow is available in two regal colorways: Red/Gold and Ivory/Gold. Each version features metallic threads that catch the light, lending the fabric an elevated, ceremonial feel appropriate for feast days and solemnities.

 

**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.
