Ecclesiastical Design Studio: Jiang Huai Design of Malaysia


There is a wonderful vestment making studio in Southeast Asia that was founded about sixteen years ago called Jiang Huai Design -- they do a fine job creating very distinct works of liturgical art related to the sacred liturgy. Located in Malaysia, the studio offers a variety of interesting vestments and mitres, in multiple styles, including conical and semi-conical chasubles. 

They also offer beautiful Sarum blue vestments and full sets for Solemn Mass. And custom orders of Neri sets. And, not to mention, unlined vestments for tropical climates. Most of the clients are Catholic and Anglican and custom orders are made according to specification design requests from clients across the globe. 

Below is a chasuble they made after a careful study of the historic Thomas Becket chasuble. The body is made of pure silk in golden shades, identical to the medieval color scheme. The orphrey was also created by them, called Canterbury. The secondary red fabric is an additional element to create an extra contrast on the overall design. 

Below is a beautiful orphrey they recently designed, based on the Gothic style passion flower that represents the passion of Christ. Meanwhile, the braid is a classic design inspired by a historical pattern designed by Pugin. It is part of a solemn set in black that can be seen below in a few images, complete with various items for a Solemn Requiem Mass. 


In addition, the studio creates beautiful objects out of wood, such as processional crosses, altar crosses, and candlesticks that match, all in the style and bright colors of the Gothic Revival. The processional cross below is fitted with a brass socket so that it can be dismantled, if necessary, for travel or storage. \

God bless these wonderful artists based in the beautiful country of Malaysia (near Singapore).  Jiang Huai Design has made an incredible contribution to the revival of liturgical arts, leading the way in Asia. We congratulate them and invite our readers to make a purchase. Their Dominican Rite vestments are also especially worth mentioning.  







Below is a Sarum style altar or home chapel. It could also work for an outdoor Corpus Christi altar or any number of other outdoor Mass scenarios including Scout or pilgrimage Masses.  


Following are various other samples of their work, including a peacock orphrey series they created, seen below. This pattern is based on an old fabric, weaved in bronze shade thread.
