A Guide To Leavers Lace

What Is Leavers Lace? Leavers lace is among the most elegant lace available and is highly sought after, thanks to its beautiful and intricate details - the end result of a painstaking and skilful manufacturing process.  Photo by Stany Dederen Shop Leavers Lace Lingerie Empreinte Melody Collection Shop Lise Charmel Collection The Origins of Leavers Lace In 1813 John Levers, a framesmith from the Nottingham market town of Sutton-in-Ashfield,  modified a pre-existing ‘Old Loughborough’ lace-making machine that had been created by John Heathcoat. The Leavers machine (the ‘a’ was added to ‘Levers’ after about 100 years, and the spelling was subsequently standardised that way) is used to make intricate patterned lace.   Photo by Clem Rutter With very few leavers machines still around, the lace is considered to be a work of art.
