For a great many years Brazil’s Northeast has exported its beautiful lace to the four corners of the world. The rendeira (lace maker woman) with her patient and well-crafted work, printed an unparalleled brand in the crafts of the Northeast. The work of these women enchants for simplicity but also for its art and creativity
Lace making started in Europe,especially in Italy and Belgium, andwas brought to France by the court ofLouis XV. From France it expanded toPortugal and England.The Portuguese brought lace to Brazil, where it became an important form of handicraft, both in the Northeast and in Santa Catarina, in the South. The rendeira weaves the thread on a pillow with the aid of bobbins, which are used in pairs .

Filet Lace is made with a knitting needle and
was developed using the same technique used
by fishermen for making their fishing nets.
This very old technique was common among
the Egyptians and Persians and spread well in
Europe, from where it was brought to Brazil by
the Portuguese colonizers. Filet lace is quite
common in the states of Alagoas and Sergipe.

Renaissance lace started in the island of Burano in Venice - Italy and arose
and developed in the seventeenth century, during the period of the
Renaissance, from which it derives its name. It came to Brazil with
European missionaries and nuns and here developed rapidly in the
Northeast region, particularly in the states of Pernambuco and Paraíba.
Renaissance lace is highly valued because of its technical complexity.
