Euterpe

Inspired by the Rococo floral designs of royal courts, this product line uses ornate frames and romantic composite embroidery stitches to evoke the style of the mansions of the 18th-century French aristocracy. It is simple, elegant, and luxurious.

Ti Amo

Inspired by artistic lacework in European museum collections, this product line combines several traditional techniques, including cutwork embroidery, satin stitches, and knot stitches. Considerable time is spent in the making of this exquisite linen which recreates the 18th-century royal symbol of the laurel crown.

Danze

This product line is inspired by the exquisite small lace pieces found in 19th-century European ladies’ wear. The craftsman uses collar- and sleeve-making techniques and threads ribbons through the round cutwork holes of the lace at irregular intervals to astonishing effect.

Angela

Inspired by the arched window frames of gothic architecture, this product line boasts exquisite cutwork lace embroidery and fine structure evoking the magnificent arches of the Westminster Abbey on the banks of the River Thames.

Adictivo

This retro lace with fluid S-shaped lines is inspired by wedding tiaras seen in the 18th-century Austro-Hungarian Empire. The exquisite European craftsmanship creates a three-dimensional effect, and the beautiful gem-like colors evoke nobility and splendor.

Martin

This exquisite fine lace can only be made using one of a handful of existing 1950s semi-manual lace machines. Made of 100% extra-long fiber cotton yarns, the fabrics go through a complex process that includes piercing and singeing to bring out museum-quality elegance that is soft to the touch.
