SPES Medieval Market

Are we stepping outside the Middle Ages once again? 🤔

A veeeeeery interesting project recently came out of our workshop - and we have a feeling you’re going to like this one too.

More details coming soon. 👀

Know Your Fabric -

Linen is probably the most popular fabric in our workshop - and honestly, it’s easy to see why.

Historical, natural, breathable, skin-friendly, available in countless colours and patterns… and incredibly versatile. From lightweight underwear and shirts to sturdy padded garments.💪

But linen gets really interesting once you start working with it regularly. Because not all linen is the same.🧐

The quality depends heavily on the fibres used to make the yarn. Longer fibres create fabric that is stronger, ages better, and drapes far more beautifully. Blended fabrics may be cheaper, but they simply don’t behave the same way as pure linen.

That’s why we’ve always chosen 100% natural linen for our garments.🌱

It’s breathable, durable, moisture-absorbing, naturally anti-static, and perfect for layers worn close to the body — especially during warmer months.

In our workshop we use 3⃣ main linen weights:
▪ lightweight for underwear and shirts
▪ medium for tunics, dresses and everyday garments
▪ heavy for more durable pieces like padded gear

And patterned linen? That’s an easy way to give any outfit a more noble, courtly look.👑

How not to love linen?

Custom Mini Soldier tent made on a special order ⚔️

Two-tone build in blue and white. Compact size, meant either as a one-person shelter or a small storage space in a camp setup.

Worth noting is the wool banner with an appliqué detail - a small but visible accent that gives it more character.

We’re open to taking on similar custom projects if you have something specific in mind.
