Lace fabric is versatile, profitable, and highly demanded, making it an irresistible trend that you should invest in to grow your business.

The culture of crafting lace by hand was brought to India by nuns and Christian missionaries who travelled from France, Portugal, Belgium, and other European countries. In their convents, they taught women (both affluent and underprivileged) bobbin lace, Bruges lace, Cluny embroidery, petit embroidery, and more.

There are a few parts of the world where hand-made lace is still produced for sale, but increasingly through the twentieth century lacemaking became a craft undertaken for pleasure. After groups such as The North Bucks Lace Association eventually collapsed, it had been left to individuals to preserve lacemaking skills.
