What I can see

Mentis Textiles is one of the oldest passementerie enterprises. Today, it is a museum, but is also an operating laboratory of traditional techniques of yarn processing, weaving and embroidery.

What I can't see

The products and equipment are a donation of the Mentis family to the Benaki Museum. This business has decorated traditional costumes, priestly vestments, military uniforms, theatrical costumes and creations of famous fashion houses of Greece and abroad for over a century and a half. Apart from preserving traditional techniques, the museum promotes the preservation of production process, collaborates with specialized craftsmen, and organizes lessons for adults and exhibitions.
