River lace is highly regarded by dressmakers and fashion designers as the world’s highest quality machine-made lace, and is so refined that it is indistinguishable from handmade lace without a magnifying glass. Luxury fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Gucci and Burberry use this lace, and Cluny lace was featured in Duchess Kate’s Alexander McQueen wedding dress at the royal wedding. However, only a few factories still produce this premium fabric, and they are facing increasing headwinds to stay afloat. WSJ visited the Cluny lace factory outside Nottingham, England, to see how Cluny river lace is made and capture the meticulous lace-making process that may soon become extinct.
