Rocamora Fan - Silk & Goldwork Kit
Step into the world of Spanish 17th century embroidery with this extraordinary project inspired by an historic embroidered fan from the collection of Manuel Rocamora Vidal, now preserved in Barcelona’s Design Hub.
The replica embroidery, which has been exquisitely interpreted by Zina Kazban, is worked in 14 shades of DeVere silk threads, copper 'pearl purl', gold passing threads, and exquisite very fine Japanese gold threads with real gold content. The ground fabric is 100% pure regal silk in a gorgeous shade of warm white.

Moragas Pocket - Silkwork Kit
A beautiful silk work kit inspired by an extraordinary 18th-century embroidered gentleman’s coat from the Terrassa Textile Museum.
Created exclusively for our Barcelona Retreat 2026, Natalie Dupuis’ design takes a jewel-like motif from the pocket of this remarkable casaca masculina and reimagines it as a small embroidered treasure, designed to be finished as a purse or pouch.
Rich with floral sprays, scrolling foliage and intricate details, this project brings together the opulence of historic embroidery with a fresh, contemporary interpretation.

Barcelona Frame - Crewel Work Kit
A beautiful crewel work project inspired by a late 19th-century embroidery design from Casa Sivilla, a celebrated textile and fashion house founded in Barcelona in 1917 by the draftsman Alfredo Sivilla Benito and his wife, Concepció Carreri.
Originally a work on paper, this bountiful design features delicate floral motifs and butterflies. Phillipa Turnbull has created her own contemporary interpretation in Crewel Work, retaining the original outline and adding a colour palette in fresh, vibrant tones inspired by Barcelona in Spring.
