Ulyana Sergeenko x Yelets Laces

Yelets lace has been famous in Russia since the late XIXth century when the first lace patterns were crafted based on pieces brought from Germany, Belgium, and France. But the Yelets craftspeople mastered this art with aplomb, augmenting it with their own unique style. Elegance and fine elaboration in ornamental details of the pattern, airiness, tenderness, and floral motifs influenced by the rolling landscape of the region are the main qualities by which Yelets lace can be unmistakably recognized.
