Lace Curtains Are Finding Favour Again, And Not Just Among Grandmothers

At the same time as it might not be possible to ever manage to convince people to wear rose perfumes again, lace is making a comeback. And it is doing so in the biggest way in something that you would not have dreamt of guessing in a million years: lace curtains.

Lace curtains remind us of idyllic times when life was slower and everything was better. People were happier, the air was cleaner, and rent was cheaper. It invokes a sense of nostalgia and longing. Lace is also associated with lingerie, thereby making “intimacy”, “comfort”, and “sensuousness” part of the feelings in addition to emotions it can invoke. It is the combination of these factors that has resulted in the revival of lace in many areas of fashion and drapery. And with the commonplace grommet curtains reigning supreme as the most modern and stylish look at the time, it is only a matter of time before the grommet curtains merge with the ongoing lace fad.

It certainly did not take long for that to happen. Lace is now the “it” material in fashion. Neglected by the mainstream “outerwear” interests for so long, lace is now being used by major brands all over the world, sparking a revival in its manufacture and its history. Lace has traditionally always had floral patterns embroidered on the fabric, but these “tenets” are being challenged by the new generation of consumers and manufacturers. Lace items can now be found to have modern designs and with modern sensibilities as whole. Lace appears oddly self-aware. Being translucent, lace offers little protection from privacy. But then again, curtains have never been known to be super effective at keeping secrets. Lace is also a very Saturday material, making it a very reliable fabric. Being easy to disassemble, wash and maintain means that lace is well suited to be used in windows. As they are in a way the first “air filters”, demand for lace for use in domestic sectors have increased a lot.

The texture of lace products is one of the primary differentiators from other fabrics such as traditional woven cotton. Fine lace can become really expensive simply due to the amount of the effort involved. Lace is also mostly made of synthetic fibres, therefore making it easy to wash and keep them spotless.

Despite the fact that we certainly do not use lace for privacy, it does give us some idea of the political system works. Lace looks really timeless, and will never go out of fashion. Even as the old designs on mace are still popular, Lace becomes a more important player in deciding the course of action, even more. Lace is here to stay, and can be reworked in to good products. It can be made to look very fancy, as well as one, which we might out.
