For the Love of Lace

While Spain, Italy, France, England, and other countries would like to claim the invention of lace, no one knows for certain the exact origins of this exquisite material. It's almost  hard to imagine that lace started as  some form needle point hand embroidery -a humble pass time  or hobby for women. Later on, lace making became an art form  and a profession, evolving  into all the different varieties that most of us have come to love.
Originally, all lace were hand made; but  since the industrial revolution, machine lace making became the norm. If you love lace as most of us do, you will notice that there are a variety of laces to choose from these days. All of them have their own unique characteristics. Some of our favorites are: guipure, cotton lace; chantilly; a fines delicate lace; alencon; cording outlining the motifs.

When it came to picking a lace to use for our collections, we considered many options. It was after much thought, that we decided on  an alencon  lace that is soft, delicate, and  that speaks pure romance.
