We're bringing them back! THE COIF.
In this climate of cold cruel hardship, one thing that can warm your day is having a warm head, which also helps keep your feet warm. This small hat was worn for centuries in the cold and drafty castles and hovels throughout the world, as padding for your helmet or as an anchor for your hat. Coifs are great in the house, for your outdoor chores, or for wear as a night cap.
We have some on hand for instant delivery, and we are happy to accommodate your custom requests. Volume orders are accepted.
Thanks for dropping by!
Here are some examples of coifs we have made. Each one you order will be a custom design and unique. You choose the fabric and trim from choices provided through email, and your coif will be as close to your taste as we can possibly make it.
This custom coif is a Deluxe beaded or appliqued coif.
Please allow two to six weeks - time to make depends on how long our collaboration takes. Simpler coif, less time.
Each Coif is Completely lined for elegance and warmth in winter.
1/2 inch wide ribbon ties or iias cotton ties,
With lace or without lace edge trim is the same price.
Each Coif is unique, brocade, beads, lace selected for each design from our collection of antique laces or modern styles. Each Coif made by hand by Candace.
Design your own coif for your specific outfit. Choose false pearls or glass non-faceted beads (conforming with appropriate period styles) or go crazy and design your coif with sequins and beads in a completely anachronistic way. Custom is custom..
Choose Applique from among our sample laces or submit a design for Hand Embroidering.
Brocade designs vary, accept Candace's choice of brocade and lace
or ask for a sample swatch images. If you supply an image of the clothing the coif is to coordinate with it is much easier for us to offer appropriate matches.
(Actual fabric Swatches gladly sent by USPS,
but manufacture will be delayed until you make your fabric selection.)
