D02 – THE STORY OF ROMANIAN LACE

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. We rummaged so deep in the depths of the internet but also through fairs and museums, that we managed to find things that are not even in books.

I will explain to you together with Alina, as I also learned, in stages. So:

Yet unwritten, the history of the Romanian lace is older than one might expect. Surviving until today on the traditional shirts, Romanian needle lace blends Eastern and Western influences, as expected. Also, the Romanian Point Lace is a result of blending techniques, conquering the world with its unique character.
