Introducing my French insertion lace trim. A vintage lace border made in the early to mid-part of the 20th century in the traditional bobbin lace-making region of Retournac, Haute-Loire, France, ensuring authenticity and superior quality.
This cotton lace features a geometric net pattern. Its narrow width makes it suitable for doll outfits, teddy bear clothing, and other detailed sewing projects. The insertion style allows for easy placement between fabric layers or as a subtle accent on baby garments, lingerie, or small accessories. The neutral color fits various upcycling or craft applications, providing a simple yet unique detail to your designs.
At Bobbins&Needles, I take pride in sourcing and curating the best quality materials for my customers. I am confident that it will exceed your expectations. So why settle for mass-produced lace when you can have a one-of-a-kind piece that adds character and charm to your creations?

Additional information:
All orders are sent with tracking using the services of Correos (the Spanish postal service). Additionally, I offer combined shipping, allowing you to pay a single shipping cost for multiple items in one package. Automatically, after you add more than one different item to your cart, only one shipping cost will be charged.
Before placing a big order, please contact me so I can customize it.
Please note that all our laces and linens are sold as found, unwashed and unused, they have been stored for many years so if any cleaning or ironing is needed, it will be left to the buyer. Before use, gently hand wash or soak in soft soap, rinsed and towel dried (no wringing!!) and let to air dry. The ancient folk wisdom says that it is better to spread the fabrics on a meadow and let the dew and the moon naturally whiten the fabric.
The color shades go from white to ecru and cream, and because the handmade lace was made by different women and threads, on some occasions the color of each roll from the same type differs slightly. They have been stored for many decades (almost a century), so it is possible that some of them may show dust or a light patina; this is precisely what gives them their unique, endearing charm. I try my best to show and describe any exceptional wear or damage.
Thank you for your interest that has kept you reading up to this point. Feel free to let me know if you have any further requests or if you'd like additional adjustments!
