Strutture del consumo di abbigliamento alla fine del Medioevo, in Archivio Storico Italiano

This paper studies the structures of clothing consumption at the end of the Middle Ages. First, it concentrates on the actors of the clothing consumption market, highlighting the existence of two main groups of trade, one focused on the sale of fabrics and the other on the manufacture of clothing. It then traces the customer journey, i.e. the practice of consumers purchasing fabric to turn into clothing, and sales, specifically, the elements contributing to the formation of consumer prices. Finally, it focuses on the influence of dyeing colors on consumer prices, a theme which explores the question of preference in clothing colors in the late Middle Ages.
