About LACE

The Story Behind LACE

Every LACE piece begins with an idea, a drawing and a story worth carrying. Inspired by culture, shaped by artists and brought to life through intricate embroidery, we turn meaningful artwork into contemporary pieces you can wear every day.

Rooted in Nepal. Open to the world.

[The first attempt: the first sketch, the first embroidery test, what went wrong and what you learned.]

[The decision: why embroidery instead of print, why work with artists, and what the name LACE means.]

What makes LACE original

Nothing on a LACE piece is downloaded, traced or printed.

01 Drawn by an artist Every motif starts as a hand drawing by a named artist, like Gideon Sagar's pencil study for the Everest Edition.
02 Researched before stitched Each symbol and placement is traced to its origin, so the meaning travels with the design.
03 Embroidered, never printed 40,000 to 55,000 stitches per piece. Thread holds texture and depth that ink can't.
04 Rooted in Nepal Mithila, Durbar, Everest, Laligurans: every edition celebrates Nepali heritage.
