Tapestry is an ancient art dating back over 2000 years, with the UK and Europe being particularly prominent during the Middle Ages, when barons and knights would adorn their castle walls with tapestries for both decoration and warmth. The traditional tapestry-making process involves stretching plain warp threads on a loom to create a grid, and then weaving the coloured weft threads in and out of the warp threads to build up a complete tapestry. SIGNARE's production method uses modern mechanical looms, which greatly speeds up what used to take weeks or months to do by hand.

A special characteristic of each SIGNARE bag is that it is unique. The brand's name, "SIGNARE," means "Signature" in Latin, and SIGNARE wishes every customer to possess their own individual signature bag.

The SIGNARE glasses case measures approximately W 3.5" x H 7.9" x D 0.4" and weighs 0.13 lb. This cute glass case is small and slim enough to fit into various sized handbags or jacket pockets. The case contains a gold or silver frame with a kiss-lock clasp closure, and the inside is fully lined with a branded patterned polyester to prevent scratching and damage to the glasses. The main material for this holdall bag is high-quality woven tapestry, and the design artwork is the true value of a SIGNARE TAPESTRY bag.

The 'Jacobean Dream' design is inspired by a richly embroidered gentleman's cap in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's collection, dating from the early seventeenth-century. The original cap is embroidered in coloured silks and silver-gilt thread, featuring symbolic motifs from nature typical of the Jacobean era. The nightcap was a popular item of headwear in Shakespeare's time and would have been worn in the evening as an informal garment to relax in, serving as a fashionable status symbol.
