I’m delighted to share that images of the Unstitched Coif Project panels are now available to view in the V&A archives.
Each piece has been carefully photographed front and back and the full collection can be viewed via this link.
The Unstitched Coif.
The project is a collaboration between the V&A and curator Toni Buckby a PhD student.
The project is based on an original 17th century coif in the V&A archives in London. This coif was partially stitched and then unpicked, but the pattern is still clearly visible consisting of hand drawn flowers and whimsical bugs.
Thank you to Toni Buckby and the V&A curators for making the project possible.
