Taylor-Davies Design creates faithful reproductions of historical textiles and garments, working from surviving originals, museum collections, and primary source material. Reproduction work serves a variety of purposes, from museum handling collections and educational programmes to film and television costuming, academic research, and private commissions. Each reproduction is approached with the same rigour and attention to detail as the studio's conservation and historical costume work.
The studio's reproduction process begins with close examination of the original object, including its materials, construction methods, surface decoration, and signs of wear. Where access to the original is limited, the studio draws on its extensive knowledge of historical textile practices and archival research to inform the work. Period-appropriate materials and techniques are used wherever possible, resulting in reproductions that not only look authentic but feel and handle as the originals would have done.
