Burnley & Trowbridge Co.

At Burnley and Trowbridge, we search the world to find  unique, high-quality materials and items for our customers. The specialized nature of these goods requires sourcing from countries that have been targeted for some of the highest U.S. tariff rates in history. Given the small size of our industry, finding alternative sources and negotiating lower prices is difficult to impossible.

Because we strive to keep our prices low, we can’t fully absorb the additional costs caused by these tariffs. Therefore, we’ll need to raise prices on some items, but we want to continue to offer you the best prices possible. Therefore, we will  only adjust prices when absolutely necessary, and only by the amount of the tariff or the increase from our U.S. suppliers.

We’re doing our best to keep prices as low as possible so that you may continue to enjoy what we consider to be the best hobby out there.

 We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued support.

This workshop will focus on the fitted style of informal attire often called a banyan - its origin, structure and use. Believed to have been introduced to Western Europe from the Far and Mid-East during the early modern period, these garments served as an alternative to coats in less formal spaces. Known to original wearers by terms, including India gowns, wrappers and banyans, surviving examples are constructed of both figured silks and printed cottons.

This  2 1/2 day  workshop will be led by Brenda Rosseau
