Alençon

Alençon lace or point d'Alençon lace was first made in France in the 16th century, and is renowned for its fine netting ground, corded outlined floral patterns, and heavenly detailing. Alençon lace is superlative as trim for wedding gowns and bridal veils. We also have many styles of Alençon lace that are strewn with pearls or sequins, which gleam and shine with an unparalleled soft beauty.
