Abstract In 18th century Venice, a city renowned for its unparalleled opulence, judicious recycling and repurposing of luxury textiles, was, ironically, the norm. Archival documents routinely list elegant, but “worn out” items, as in the 1773 inventory of Marina Eirardi, where a number of broken and “useless” clothing items are mentioned, and where is carefully described what remains of a precious gown made with a “brocade fabric with gold and silver flowers … disassembled into pieces and the gold and silver flowers had been removed … so that holes remain in their places”. While we do not know what happened to the flowers, it is anyway clear that these valuable elements were saved and somehow recycled, if only to melt down the precious metals. Comparing this document with an almost contemporary garment, the paper proposes to explore examples of patrician thriftiness, opening interesting avenues of investigations about the reuse of luxury items.

“破碎无用”。关于 18 世纪威尼斯时装和纺织品回收再利用的注意事项

摘要 在 18 世纪，威尼斯是一座以无与伦比的富裕、明智的回收和重新利用豪华纺织品而闻名的城市，具有讽刺意味的是，这是常态。档案文件通常会列出优雅但“破旧”的物品，例如 Marina Eirardi 1773 年的库存，其中提到了许多破损和“无用”的衣物，并仔细描述了用“带有金银花的锦织品……被拆成碎片，金银花被去除了……所以在它们的位置上留下了洞”。虽然我们不知道花朵发生了什么，但无论如何，这些有价值的元素都被保存下来并以某种方式回收利用，即使只是为了熔化贵金属。将这份文件与几乎当代的服装进行比较，
