Product Description
Angel with Very Fine French Chantilly Vintage Lace
Sylvia’s Lace – Vintage Lace Collection was started by Sophie Kho after she retired from her role as Editor of Home & Decor Magazine. She transforms handmade laces from the collection of her mother, Sylvia Kho, into custom angels and accessories. Sylvia Kho was a prominent bridal couturier in Singapore from the 1950s to 1990s. She designed and custom-made wedding gowns using elaborate laces imported from Europe.
It is a passion project to celebrate my mum’s contribution to Singapore’s history. The laces she left behind in the heritage collection is also part of history of bridal gown design. These wonderful fabrics are vintage bridal laces from 1970s and 1980s. They are remnants of a more refined quality of textiles that were made on looms in family workshops in France, Austria and Switzerland. They are gone now, swallowed up by mass market fabrics. Now you get cheap machine laces, thin laces woven in polyester not superfine 100% cotton.
