Why Does Lydia Love Purple?
Purple isn’t just a pretty color, to me it has a deep significance (both historically and spiritually) which is why I chose to add the word into the title of my blog. I’m named after Lydia in the Bible. She was a seller of purple cloth and the first European woman to convert to Christianity in the first century AD. This makes Lydia somewhat of an ancient boutique owner and certainly a member of the ancient fashion world (if you will). Since much of what I publish on this blog is my take on history and fashion I felt that including the word purple in it’s name really sums up the marriage of fashion and history in a perfect way.
