We all know lace indeed. It is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. But not everyone of us know much about the Leavers Lace. The Leavers Lace was actually named after the machine which made it. As the most exquisite and precious lace in the world, Leavers Lace has been loved by La Perla, who still applies this superb lace to parts of their lingerie pieces.

About the Leaver’s Looms

1. The machines were able to produce laces with rather exquisite patterns, and create a special jacquard effect.

2. Initially invented and manufactured in England in early 19th century, the Leaver’s looms were later spread to Calais, France.

3. Now only 1,200 Leaver’s Machines remain in the world, due to the complicity and extremely high cost of the technique.

Till now every single piece of La Perla’s new creations still strictly sticks to the philosophy of Ada Masotti, founder of the brand, to bring out the most exquisite craftsmanship and superb quality through every detail of their lingerie pieces. And the reason why La Perla distinguishes itself from others lies in the perfect combinations the brand makes between traditional workmanship and innovative techniques, the past and the future.
