Nothing highlights a neckline or sleeve quite like Venise lace. Originating in Italy as well as other parts of Europe, these intricate laces were originally made by hand and it could take years to complete one piece to accent a garment. Lace was eventually adapted to machines, though they themselves were quite complicated. Simple Pleasures Couture garments are tastefully adorned with Venise lace made right here in the USA.
