Traditional Lace Weaving
All throughout Bruges you can find little shops selling intricate lace items.
The shops are usually run by 50-90 year old women, who continue to weave lace by the traditional bobbin method.
These artisans preserve the centuries-old tradition and produce quality lace item of various fabrics, colors and patterns.
Belgium’s entire lace weaving industry is comprised of about 1,000 weavers that produce everything manually, without any motorized machines or other technological aids.
The country doesn’t even have a single lace factory because it honors the ancient tradition of weaving and wishes to keep it alive.
