Each piece of Point d’Alençon would pass through up to 18 different hands before completion, and each square centimetre represents around seven hours of work, not to mention the years of apprenticeship required to develop the necessary expertise. This labour-intensive process, and the ethereal beauty of the finished product, led to it becoming known as the 'Queen of Lace'. Only the very rich could afford to buy Alençon lace, and thus it became a favourite of royalty including, for example, Marie Antoinette.Lace making began at the small Normandy town of Alençon in the 16th century, and after the Industrial Revolution the technique was preserved by Carmelite nuns. A National Lace Workshop was established in the town in 1976 to ensure the tradition was not lost, and in 2010 UNESCO recognised the unusual craftsmanship of this lace, adding it to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
