Cagliari,
Sardinia
13th July 2013
This year has been rather textile
“poor” I’m sad to say. However, one welcome
surprise was this window display we discovered in Cagliari. I cannot begin to explain where these
wonderful costumes and weavings came from as I understand each village has its
own style. However, the embroidery and
weaving was particularly fine.

The Oristano Tourist Information
Centre gave us a brochure on the textile museum located in Samugheo. This village is noted for its textiles and in
August has a “craft fair” at which tessile items are available to
purchase. Sadly, we had neither time nor
transport for a visit (this year?), making our find in Cagliari all the more
exciting.
Here’s a link to the Regional Museum of Sardinian Textile Art in Samugheo. If
the quality of Oristano’s Antiquarium Arborense is any measure of provincial
museums, this one should be well worth the visit.

Dark skirts & reflection is not a good mix, however
the lace on each blouse was stunning |
