“…Did tailors' growing access to imported luxury cloths help prompt new types of clothing and accessories? In the discussion, Peter Stabel notes that secondhand clothes dealers in medieval Bruges were really a manufacturing trade, which was not entirely the case for their counterparts in London and Paris at the time (Staples 2011;. Parisian embroiderers were organized into guilds during the Middle Ages (Depping 1837, 379-82), but even in the eighteenth century the Lyons embroiders worked as independent contractors.…”

This paper investigates innovations of the early modern European textile industry and practices of cultural transfer using seventeenth-century Venetian Crete as a case study. It explores the use of novelties, such as mixed cloths, in the dowries assigned to brides in the urban setting of Candia (modern Heraklion) and the surrounding countryside during the period 1600-1645. It draws on computer-processed data from marriage agreements and inventories of movables from the State Archives of Venice. It illustrates, through a comparative lens, how brides used (silk) mixed fabrics to differentiate themselves from others and how Venetian Crete followed the changes in production techniques of the European textile industry.

El desarrollo de un complejo mercado de segunda mano en una gran ciudad como fue Valencia en la Baja Edad Media sirve aquí para analizar el sector de la indumentaria y establecer cómo, y por qué vías, esas compraventas de ropas usadas sirvieron para hacer llegar a sectores más amplios de la población las nuevas modas que se iban imponiendo desde mediados del siglo XIV. Se trata por tanto de evaluar la importancia del mercado de ocasión en la difusión de un cierto espíritu consumista cuando todavía las fuerzas productivas no se habían desarrollado lo suficiente como para satisfacer esas nuevas demandas.
