BJ Village steeped in Lace history

Worldoflace today
Today’s Lace industry in Nottingham is much more compact and specialised, but still very active and just as creative as in the earlier years. To explain: We live and operate from Burton Joyce - a small village within “The Box” and we have excellent relationships and associations with 'friends' within the industry - all within a short drive away .
For example:
Within our own village, it was a local 'friend'/supplier ( regretfully no longer with us) who provided the unique beautiful lace trim for “Diana the Princess of Wales” in her Wedding Gown, - we use laces from this source in our custom created 'Bridal veils and Mantillas'.
We only use genuine English Net for our Veils and Mantillas, supplied by another 'friend' based within Nottingham City ( 10 minutes away)
Another business associate, also local, a supplier/maker of exquisite Nottingham Lace trims, created the Lace trims for 'Fergie', The Duchess of York's Wedding Dress. We also use their trims for our Veils and Mantillas.
Our exclusive “Quintessential English” Nottingham Lace and Linen Table Cloths Collection, incorporates designs by Nottingham's "Doyenne of Table Dressings" - Tablecloths, Runners, Napkins, Placemats etc are based only 10 minutes away.
Our exquisite, attractive and fashionable “LACEY” /Wool and Mohair Stoles and Shawls are produced and supplied to us, direct from their Historic Frame Workshop/Factory, sited just west of the centre of Nottingham City. We know, that several members of the Royal Family, were/are regularly snuggled up in Baby Shawls created by this Company, this includes the 3 Princes presently and directly inline, Charles 'The Prince of Wales', 'Prince William the Duke of Cambridge' and now the newly born 'Prince George'.
"We invariably use all of these suppliers of quality 'All-over Laces' & Trims etc, within our Products Range, which resulted in us achieving 'The B est Local Product A ward' with our very first products.
