>What about African lace made outside Austria?
Swiss laces are a luxury fabric made for special occasion: wedding, Christmas
... As for all luxury products, counterfake copies can be found anywhere at a
fraction of the cost. However, real luxury don't accept copies : anyone knows the
difference between a fake Rolex, and a real one, no matter how good is the copy.
Luxury stands by itself as a statement that cannot be copied without loosing the
first message.Have we ever heard about a movie star having a fake Rolex...
However, not anyone is able to afford real luxury !

>Designing African Laces
Designing African lace needs a real knowhow. To always come with new designs, ideas, the key is to have strong archives to rework and of course, new ideas. Fashion must always be new. That's basically why Swiss voiles are a luxury fabric.
But having ideas and new designs are not enough to come with beautiful brocade. The technical knowhow is although a key matter : stitching work is as important as the design itself. A good design with a lousy stitching work will come out just bad.
Stitching is also a matter of knowhow and there is very few stitching people able to really do a good job on the market !
