The making of handwrapped lace buttons

Handwrapped lace buttons is one of the design highlights in my new collection L'Amore. They can be found in my silk shirts, linen jackets and skirts. I was so obsessed with these little beauties that I was making these buttons even while watching television. Till i sleep with my fingers cramped. And my hand continue to ache when I wake up. Sometimes I have customers who ask me why are my things priced as such. And I told them we emphasize on fine workmanship. These 2 words will be better explained below.
The lace is measured to the right length before making the buttons.
Before making the buttons, the Lace and lining has to be cut with a circle template. If you do 10 buttons, you need to cut 10 lace pieces and the lining into a circle shape according to the template. That is only for 1 top. But the tops come in different sizes. At the end of the day, we begin to suffer hand cramps from cutting such small circles.
Black and white lace cut out into circles. We need to further discern the pattern. So those who are similar are grouped into 1 top/skirt to achiever a coherent look. These black and white lace is for the sultry siren white silk shirt.
Lace buttons are finally completed. These buttons are for the houndstooth check pencil skirt with furry details.
If we had used normal buttons, we would have saved an incredible amount of time. But fine touches like these differentiate a mass produced item from a luxurious designer piece that is handmade with time and pride. Some customers cannot tell the difference but those with a discerning eye can. And this better explains why our items are priced as such.

True mark of fine workmanship


Each piece of french lace is cut and measured according to the shoulder width of the silk shirt and meticulously hand sewn onto the shoulder. This gives a very soft feel to the silk shirt as compared to using sewing machine to sew the lace onto the shirt. And when you flip over the shirt, you will not see ugly stitch marks. Silk fabric itself is soft and dainty and more difficult to handle than other fabrics like cotton when sewing. A seamstress has to exercise patience and care when handling silk as it tears and slips easily.

This is the true mark of fine workmaship. However, as a result, it takes thrice as long to complete each piece. And perhaps it can answer humbly the question why this silk shirt is sold at $268.

L'Amore- Sultry Siren in the office



A classic white silk shirt that will not lose its fashion appeal. Updated and made more precious with French lace shoulder detail and handwrapped lace buttons. Pair it with our new houndstooth pencil skirt with furry details for the sultry siren look in the office. Or our houndstooth check pants for stylish chic. Dont be afraid to show your feminity. Who says office wear is boring?

And dont forget the houndstooth travel wallet that can hold your passport, credit cards, coins, notes when you travel. Or simply a wallet to strut your style during lunch time.

White silk shirt - $268. Also available in nude pink and black. VIPS enjoy 15% off in June and July 2011.
Houndstooth check skirt -$180.
