What is French Chantilly Lace?

Chantilly lace fabric is a type of bobbin lace traditionally created out of black threads and featuring floral or botanical patterns on a point d’esprit or net background. Its name originates from the city of Chantilly in France where such lace concept was firstly designed.

In the rank of fashionistas' preferences all over the world, this lace sort traditionally takes highest scores due to the fineness and complexity of patterns. Besides its elegance, the production process has always been complex too, that’s why this fabric is still widely perceived as a true luxury statement.

Traditionally, Chantilly lace fabric has been woven out of black silk threads, however, these days, it can be given any colour. This delicate material never ceases to exude its ineffable charm, and the world’s leading fashion houses regularly use it in their collections. However, this French lace sort would never enjoy even a bit of its present popularity if it was reserved for catwalks or special occasions only.
