About the Vintage Lace-
While living in NYC years ago I had the opportunity to collect a lot of beautiful lace and trim. I acquired the bulk of my lace collection while working at an intimate apparel design studio that held the license for Christian Dior Intimates and other brands.  At the end of each season I was able to accumulated high end lace samples from some of the best lace producers at the time. Most of the samples were either made in America or Europe, although I do not know the origin of many. The collection of vintage lace this kit is taken from was produced in the mid 1990’s. (Some of my postings contain lace purchased recently, in which case I do not refer to them as “vintage”.)
