Even though our search for a convent where nuns still make lace by hand proved futile, our prayers were answered when we discovered the “Lace Ladies.” Working hard to preserve the dying art of hand-made lace, these amazing women are all graduates of convent schools in Southern India where Belgian nuns have been teaching lace making and embroidery since the 1800’s.

These lovely linen and lace hand towels with a delicate hand-embroidered floral motif exemplify the exceptional skills of the “Lace Ladies.”  Your guests will surely admire these exquisite hand towels and the “Lace Ladies” will surely bless you for helping to preserve this ancient art.
