The art of embroidering clothing dates back to ancient Greece and has been practiced globally ever since.

This summer we're seeing so many new and noteworthy needlework items that are destined to bring a little artisanal flair to your classic summer style. Ahead you'll find the most colorfully detailed accessories, footwear, and fashion featuring the tried-and-true needlepoint craft.
