Mount Carmel Flat Point Lace

Point Lace is regarded as a “true” lace and is created with a single needle and fine thread where ladder-like buttonhole stitches link each motif. The designs frequently are of flowers (roses, fuscias, anemones, passion flowers), spiky-shaped leaves, and fruits such as grapes,

Popular needlepoint lace products include fans, collars, cuffs, and a wide range of ecclesiastical vestments and altar decorations.

Mount Carmel Point Lace takes a deservedly high place among Irish lace manufacturers.

Some experts have said that the Carmelite Monastery Lace School in New Ross produced some of the most beautiful styles ever worked in Ireland.
