Welcome to our Women’s Bargello Collection. This design series was created in response to the COVID 19 lockdown. Women aren’t getting to use their designer handbags or go out to dine with their friends. Their designer heels and coordinating purses are sitting at home gathering dust. We decided they might as well be stitched. Enjoy this ensemble of a handbag, clutch, wallet, watch, coffee cup, ice coffee, and elegant high heel shoe. Stitch one at a time or all together. Save money since the designs use the same colors. Bargello is a type of needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. The name originates from a series of chairs found in the Bargello palace in Florence, which have a “flame stitch” pattern. Traditionally, Bargello was stitched in wool on canvas. Embroidery done this way is remarkably durable. It is well suited for use on pillows, upholstery and even carpets, but not for clothing. In most traditional pieces, all stitches are vertical with stitches going over two or more threads.
