Where did lace come from?

Lace made its debut in Europe during the sixteenth century.  Needle and bobbin lace were two types of lace making, one which involved a single needle and thread while the other is the plaiting of many threads. Only the finest lace involved talent, skill, and time. Back then lace was an expensive luxury item because of its time-consuming production. It would symbolize sophistication and class as men and women would involve this costly piece of detail throughout their garments. Lace was incredibly expensive because of its hours of craftmanship, so if you own any piece of garment within these times that involved lacing, you were identified as upper class. 

Fast forward to France in the late 18th century, lace was not just for dresses; it had become a crucial fashion element. In mid-century, the introduction of machine-made lace added a layer of complexity in distinguishing between handmade and machine-produced varieties. The quality was so exceptional that even experts struggled to differentiate between the two. As demand for handmade lace waned, its accessibility increased, leading to a decline in its popularity. 

But hey, the story doesn't end there. Lace has made a splash in swimwear, and it's a total game-changer. The timeless look, the feminine allure, and the versatility of lace swimsuits make it a sophisticated addition to beachwear.

How do I care for my Lace swimsuit?

Now, the nitty gritty – taking care of these lace beauties. They deserve a bit of extra love. No tossing them into the washing machine drama. They prefer a gentle handwashing with a mild detergent. And please, avoid rough surfaces and too much sun exposure if you want your lace to stay as dreamy as the day you bought it. Treat your lace swimwear like the VIP guest it is. 

Cold water rinse is strongly advised as this helps remove salt, chlorine and other harmful chemicals that can deteriorate the fabric over time. Remember, we want our swimsuits to last as long as possible. Also, for regular swimsuits, it’s a common habit to twist and squeeze out the water after a good soak, however when it comes to lace swimsuits, pressing the water gently out without twisting the fabric will prevent the delicate lace from potential tearing or stretching. As lace involves the intricate detail of numerous weavings of threads, it’s important to keep an eye out of any snags and loose threads. Promptly repair these issues before any damages. Keeping away from any rough surfaces will also keep your lace swimsuit intact! 

You’ll keep your lace swimsuit looking fabulous and ready for more adventures by following these simple care steps! That little extra time of caring for your lace swimsuits, ensures a lifetime of happy lace adventures!
