The number of suppliers has significantly decreased in recent years due to retirements and sadly some passing away, with only a few new entrants joining the lacemaking world. Consequently, lace fairs have also diminished, primarily due to lower attendance.
Suppliers travel from across the country to participate in events , and we truly value the opportunity to meet our customers in person.
We encourage you to attend a lace fair or other lacemaker events if you can.
