Belgium and Flanders became a major center for the creation of primarily bobbin lace starting in the 1500s, and some handmade lace is still being produced there today.

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

Certain factories in France and the Netherlands have produced lace for centuries, and Italy also retains its status as a notable producer of lace. American factories also produce small quantities of this beautiful and delicate textile.

Bobbin lace is also known as pillow lace, because it was worked on a pillow, and bone lace, because early bobbins were made of bone or ivory. Bobbin lace is one of the two major categories of handmade laces, the other being needle lace, derived from earlier cutwork and reticella.
