Lace in Indian fashion gets used carelessly. It gets applied to necklines, cuffs, and hemlines on garments where it has no relationship to the rest of the design. The result looks added-on — because it was.
At Haus of Handmade, lace is used as a structural element, not a decoration. It appears where it earns its place: as an inset panel that creates texture variation in a poplin shirt, as a hem treatment that softens an otherwise sharp silhouette, as a collar treatment that does the work of jewellery.
What HOH lace actually means
Every piece of lace in a Haus of Handmade garment is positioned by hand. The artisan decides placement, checks alignment, and stitches it in place individually. This takes longer than machine placement. It also looks different — lace positioned with human judgment follows the logic of the garment rather than the efficiency of a production line.
The lace itself is sourced carefully — not the cheap synthetic lace that puckers after two washes, but cotton and cotton-blend lace with enough body to hold its structure through repeated wearing.
