DESIGN HISTORY (From Hermes Carre Stories):
"If it's true that faeries perform miracles, then lace-makers, by the same token, perform marvels. Lace originates from an interweaving of threads which emphasizes emptiness, the immaterial. It is light, airy and ever so complicated. It appeared in the 16th century: needlework lace-making was realized in the Venice region, work with bobbins around Anvers. The two techniques require patience, skill and reflection, qualities everyone would like to be proud of. This carre mingles in one harmonious composition different techniques, periods and nationalities."
