Lace #5 Straight Edge 8cm - Vintage Cotton Bobbin Lace

This is an original vintage cotton bobbin lace, sourced from unused deadstock rolls and carefully stored for decades.

Featuring a delicate classic diamond-net structure with repeating motifs, this lace has a softly scalloped edge that makes it ideal for visible hems and trims.

Made from fine cotton thread with a matte finish, this lace is breathable, supple, and far superior to modern synthetic alternatives. It is well-suited to heirloom sewing, garment restoration, and slow fashion projects where quality and authenticity matter.
