Manufacturer

Riechers Marescot is one of the famous French lace specialists. Founded in 1880, this company has created the collections with a deep love and respect for traditional lace techniques. Being a part of the house of Sophie Hallette, they create classic designs as well as modern styles with Swarovski crystals, pearls, sequins, beads and more.

Design

Chantilly Lace is known for its fine pattern and abundant details. The pattern is usually outlined with a heavier thread and the lace has scalloped edges. One of the notable features of the design is the use of a half-and-whole stitch, which creates a stunning mix of light and shadow within the pattern.

Use/Application

This beautiful, fine and delicate fabric is often used for wedding dresses. Also, when it is made from black silk, this lace is often used for evening wear.
This type of lace was very popular in the 19th century when every stylish woman used to have her own black or white Chantilly lace shawl. This fabric is also suitable for overlays on skirts and dresses, lingerie and more.

Care

Never use bleach or harsh chemicals to clean lace at home, as it will damage the delicate fibers. Professional dry-cleaning is preferable. Сheck the care label before washing. If hand wash is allowed, the best option is to use a gentle quilt soap, made with sodium lauryl sulfate. Use cold water and dry the fabric on a towel after washing. If the lace contains synthetic fibers, avoid ironing, they can melt.

Chantilly Lace

Chantilly lace is a fine and delicate type of French lace, known for its light weight, exquisite floral patterns and pure femininity. Despite its airiness, this lace is very durable.

Chantilly lace is made on a hexagonal mesh ground, with an ornate floral pattern sometimes outlined in a heavier silky thread. It is usually designed with double scalloped edges. Traditional Chantilly lace is black, but today it can be dyed in any color. White and ivory are among the most popular ones, which explains why the fabric is often used as a bridal lace. 

This lace has always been perceived as the sign of luxury and high social status, since the production involved lots of manual work. Iconic French brands still use authentic 19^th century looms to deliver the original spirit we love this fabric for. Exquisite and stylish, Chantilly lace is often seen on the world’s most famous catwalks during fashion weeks, transformed into luxurious dresses and gowns.
