Frequently Asked Questions

About My Collection

What makes vintage lace and buttons special? Unlike modern mass-produced items, antique French and Italian lace was often handmade with incredible precision and artistry. Our vintage buttons carry a patina and character that only age can provide. Because these items are authentic pieces of history, they may show tiny signs of their previous life—which I believe only adds to their soul and story.

How do I care for my antique lace? Antique textiles are delicate. I store them carefully wrapped in Acid-Free Tissue Paper and I send my items to you unwashed and in "As found" condition. If you want to wash your items, I recommend very gentle hand-washing in lukewarm water with a pH-neutral soap if necessary, or simply airing them out. Many of my "slow stitcher" customers prefer to leave the natural aged patina as is to maintain the vintage aesthetic.
