Irish lace -
shamrock
motif
With a shamrock motif on either end, a width of 2" and a length of 78" this shamrock Irish lace handfasting cord is a beautiful way to incorporate the symbol of Ireland into your wedding celebrations.
Irish lace handfasting cords are a modern and contemporary expression of the exquisitely elegant Irish crochet lace. My pieces are designed and styled with traditional motifs to enhance the unique beauty and originality of the collection.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted. Irish crochet lacemaking has flourished in Ireland since the 1800's, evolving and adapting to the changing fashions, all the while retaining it's exclusive appeal.
I bring a modern perspective to these signature products, made to be both beautiful and functional in the present and to become heirlooms in the future.
