A symbol of craftsmanship and elegance, Nottingham Lace carries a rich heritage dating back to the 19th century. Once the heart of the world’s lace-making industry, Nottingham became renowned for its intricate designs and unrivalled quality. Crafted using traditional techniques, this delicate yet durable lace is a testament to British textile artistry.

What makes Nottingham Lace so special? Its fine, detailed patterns are created with precision, offering a softness and drape that feel effortlessly romantic. Despite its delicate appearance, it’s strong, timeless, and made to last. Whether adding a touch of vintage charm to clothing or a refined edge to home textiles, its beauty lies in the detail.

A fabric woven with history—graceful, enduring, and forever elegant.

I’ve always been fascinated by lace, its delicate nature and wealth of patterns, and always wanted to include lace in my designs. I discovered exactly what I was looking for at the Cluny Lace Company, the last remaining lace maker in England. Owned by the Mason family for nearly 200 years, they have a long history of making distinctive patterns of lace from their vast archives. Their purposely designed factory, built around 1900, is situated on the border of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in the heart of the UK. It is a joy to be buying their lace for our dresses, not only is it stunningly beautiful, but we are also delighted to support the tradition of lacemaking in this country.
