— Craftsmanship
A banner that lasts for generations.
A banner is the visible sign of a community. We work from your crest, logo or an old drawing, redraw it for embroidery and build it up in raised gold work, silk shading and fine lettering.
Recent work includes a 150 cm family crest banner and the 50th anniversary banner for the PEC Zwolle supporters' club. See our work →
