Durability of lace fabrics

Although lace fabrics appear delicate, they are surprisingly durable when treated with care. The quality depends on the type of fiber and the weaving or knitting technique. High-quality lace retains its beauty for many years. In addition, lace production is increasingly combined with sustainable fibers, making it a more eco-conscious choice.

Composition

Lace fabrics are traditionally made of cotton, silk or linen. Modern versions often use polyester, nylon or mixed fibers. Natural lace offers a luxurious, soft feel, while synthetic lace provides extra strength, flexibility and easy maintenance.

Type of fabric: Woven or Knitted?

Lace can be both woven and knitted. Woven lace provides a structured, stable pattern, while knitted lace (such as tulle lace) offers more elasticity and softness. This variety makes lace suitable for both structured garments and flowing designs.
