LET THERE BE LACE

Few things are more dainty, inherently feminine, and elegant than lace.

“As I recall it, many of the garments in those trunks were lace,” Cheryl said. “Church dresses, wedding gowns, gloves – because it was all special-occasion wear that they didn’t need to be accessible every day. Lace always felt very grown-up and glamorous to us. I vividly remember a particular hat; it had no top, it was essentially just an elegant lace brim, and I thought that was the peak of chic. Needless to say, lace was integral to the authenticity of this collection.”

We incorporated it in a traditional sense, in embellished sheer tops, layered petticoats, and dainty trim. Still, perhaps the most extraordinary iteration is the leather-made-lace application on the Emelia’s Trousseau Jacket. The stunning white leather biker is embellished with intricate embroidery that gives the appearance of lace appliqué. It has a minimalist monochromatic motif with just enough embellishment to give it a universal appeal, but it’s guaranteed to be a go-to among bachelorettes, brides, and beyond.
