Everything you need to understand right away. We explore a little so you can meet the women who invented these masterpieces and understand the context in which they were created.

The Story of Lace is linked to the foamy waves of the Mediterranean Sea, and takes you through all of Europe, from the Greek islands to the Adriatic coast or the northern shores. Cherished and highly desired by aristocracy and common people alike, lace has ignited passions and marked destinies throughout centuries. Discover the world of lace with us, and you’ll surely want to be part of the tale!
