Their is some very
interesting information associated with Leavers lace and the
information below explains about the history and the method regarding the use
of Leavers lace in the making of
Ennia Lingerie and hopefully you will find this informative. Some examples
of items in our range with
Leavers lace are these three great sellers.

Raw material was lacking during the Liberation of France and
new inspiration had to be sought after: staple fibre, rayon, nylon, Lurex and
Plastilam emerged, and what a success! The Americans were won over and became
the most important customers.
The French fashion world set the pace; demand was constant and
persisted until 1956. The protective measures taken in economical retaliation by
some American states following political stances, figure amid some of the
setbacks the lace industry was subjected to. While it may appear trivial, the
suppression of mantillas in the religious order came as a heavy blow to the
profession.
Forsaken by the fashion industry another major crisis occurred
between 1967 and 1976. It took a substantial effort to promote lace in the
dressmaking, fashion and design industries, the comeback of womens fashion is
feminine. The lingerie success gave the lace industry a new lease of life,
punctuated by the quest of technical and stylistic creations. Aimed at the great
fashion houses, the lacemakers of Caudry produced a high quality product on
Leavers looms carrying the DENTELLE DE CALAIS
label.
Some of the greatest fashion houses; Yves Saint Laurent,
Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Hanae Mori, Guy Laroche, Christian Dior, Karl
Lagerfeld, Cerruti and Jean Paul Gaultier succumbed, eager to incorporate this
noble, refined and artistic material in their work. As 80% of the lace produced
is exported to 100 different countries, it must be adapted to todays fashion
demands. Adding to the more traditional materials, the industry has now added
silk, wool, cotton, synthetic fibres, silver and gold threads, cellophane and
elastic for comfort.
Calais Lace has succeeded in seducing a new public through the
press and shows intended for the public at large. The great comeback of evening
wear and the use of Calais Lace in day wear, have opened new horizons:
alternately sportswear associated with leather, wool, flannel, flannelette or
shirt fleece fabric, trenches, suits. Lace in dresses, skirts and blouses are
adorned with lam, sequins, pearls and flocking to become luxurious, dazzling
and sophisticated items.
